How To Install an Entire Floor Pan on a First Generation Camaro - Repair Restore Revive: Ep.8

[@paulgunter1538]

Good Job Cody ! Love watching the progress on the Camaro, truly my favorite Eastwood Series. Can't wait to see more of the body work !

[@edstransitscott9186]

Great, love the video, I am working on a 67. RS/SS 4 Speed, Mine is rough !

[@thehillbillyhoarder4996]

Very nice video. Thank you for taking the time to make and post

[@shadvan9494]

I just found this series and so far I am loving it. what are the long term plans for it? it looks like it was a strait 6 car with a manual trans from the factory. I hope you plan to keep the I6. you don't see many I6 cars any more. everyone swapped them to big blocks back in my day, and the whole LS swap everything is over done these days. It would sure be cool to see a hopped up I6 under the hood in stead of a ugly LS. I would also keep the manual trans. those cars got decent gas mileage back then. I know you are a long way from paint, any ideas on the color? personally I think a metallic Eastwood Blue with a white bumblebee stripe on the nose would look awesome.

That Eastwood guy commercial was cheese lol

[@GridIndustries]

At least it was intentionally cheesy lol

[@nosnerd1967]

LoneRider lol 😆

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Great stuff. What prep is needed to later paint over the rust encapsulator which is over many contours that are difficult to reach?

[@guillermonieri4203]

It is looking great. Thank you.

[@nicholasbrown6481]

You should have welded the floor to the frame rails from top and use self tapping screws

[@davidzimmer2694]

Looks like Bill hooked you up at AMD. He's a good friend.

[@djsuretay1]

On the amd metal panels they were black did you have to grid that coating off before welding or that coating is good to weld to.

[@SteveBueche1027]

No bracing of the body before removing the floor? Was there and movement ? That car needs a good dipping for all that hidden rust you can’t see or get to without huge amounts of metal removal. Then a galvanized dip.

[@The_Performance_Laboratory]

Can you guys add the link for the spot weld remover tool used?

[@jayhilliard4365]

If you are removing complete flooring, 1x1 bracing should have been used. to keep the car from twisting and buckling.

[@GridIndustries]

Great stuff, but you have to be careful blasting sheet metal - i've seen it get warped to hell from sandblasting. A less aggressive media doesn't seem to cause any problems. Of course stiffer panels like rockers and floorpans wouldn't be an issue.

[@williamstewart2065]

Why didn't you brace the car before taking the floors out

[@67polara]

and you get a good arm workout using it!

[@markymark2460]

love the series, keep it coming!

[@guillermonieri4203]

How did you weld thru the mastic? where you using a MIG welder? flux-core wire?

[@eastwoodco]

He's MIG welding. Not using Flux Cored wire.

@@eastwoodco Thank you.

What’s happened to the Camaro project?

...I have the same motor cycle shirt as the guy at about the 6:30 mark

[@elvis9349]

Where is episode 9?

[@erikxroads]

where is the next one? looking forward to more please

[@Frisky_FZR]

Anyone know why they do spot weld instead of a straight bead all the way round

[@jdimeo1966]

I assume to be "like the factory".

[@GridIndustries]

@@jdimeo1966 Factory and to not put too much heat into the panel and warp it. Spot welds are just better for this application also.

[@isbemorph]

Just like LoneRider has said, to prevent warping. And also such a multiple points structure is just stronger, then one big solid connection.

[@timcounts7355]

Did you give up on the car where is the rest of the videos

[@oacumulador]

No more videos??

[@steveredenbaugh9058]

funny...I was using a blaster like that in the early 80s... nothing new..

[@GridIndustries]

They didn't say it was a new design, it's the compressor that's the prototype.

Must have blown the budget....

[@robertelee6712]

My OCD didn't like this episode. Total hack job.

[@johnadona3014]

yeah all the work is sloppy, but thats the reality for many body shops out there. They will do the exact same job or even worse

[@robertelee6712]

@@johnadona3014 I agree, that's why I work on my own cars. I don't trust a shop to do work to my expectations. I over do everything and to perfection. It takes me longer than most to repair a car but my work is far superior and will not have to be done again. I've always been this way and won't settle for half ass work.

[@johnadona3014]

@@robertelee6712 Yeah i slowly realized this the only person that will do the job properly is you. If you leave this up to someone else they will not put that extra effort into going the extra mile to make it perfect.

[@johnadona3014]

Im about to do some floorboard and rocker repairs on my car. Knowing what people do out there and how they repair cars. It makes me sick. There are very few who will do the job correctly

[@beefmomma]

I’m about to attack this exact job in a month. Could you please inform me to what needed to be better in this video? I’m already aware bracing of the body for no body warping, but what else? Thanks
