How to Install Floor Pans with Detroit Speed Mini Tubs and QUADRALink: Pro Touring Camaro Build

[@Rev22-21]

New to the channel and look forward to this journey. A counterpart KZbin Channel does Mustang's at Peterson Restorations. Excellent isn't a fair term to use while watching his amazing work. But....I'm a Camaro man at heart and glad I found you. Notwithstanding, I REALLY REALLY REALLY encourage you checking out Peterson Restorations....you'll be glad you did.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Awesome… Thanks! Will definitely check the channel out. Appreciate the recommendation. 👍

Good job , I know you mentioned you are an architect , so it must kill you seeing the non precise fit of these aftermarket panels. I have had to take some apart and weld them back together to correct the fit, also get some of those small ratchet straps that Jubee showed to pull those quarters in to where they need to be, that worked great.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

lol. Yeah I keep searching for precision but it’s not there. Need to get over that! Good advice… When I get to aligning the rear I will definitely break out some straps. Thanks 👍

Great Video, no really knows how much work goes into putting these cars together. Measuring and relaxing and massaging the parts, it's a lot of work and can be frustrating at times. Most importantly having an accurate frame jig/cart.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Indeed! I’m focused on getting it right and not f’in up. lol

[@infamousflav]

I just can't enough of seeing that floor just **SLIDE** into place...BRILLIANT!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Me either! LOL 😂 I can’t imagine having to wrestle it. The screw jacks are the icing on the cake. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. When I was a young man back in the '60s my dad took us to GM in Lordstown Oh on a tour and then GM was making the Firebird, at the beginning of the tour we started by watching them weld and assemble the body and let be say this, most of the guys working there had very large rubber mallets and when they place the panels in place they would bang those panels together with those mallets, tolerance, not sure if they even cared, they just bang those cars together. I have a 67 Camaro also and in my arsenal of tools is a big rubber mallet.🔨👍👀

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Very cool! That explains a lot! 🤪 As always… Thanks so much for watching and especially commenting. Both very much appreciated. 👍

[@maxfastest]

I also was able to tour a plant in the late sixties with my dad The huge mallets we're very cool, if it didn't fit just right, those guys knew just where to smack it to get it together. I've built probably a dozen cars in my life using similar techniques, always a good time.

Nice !

[@joncpeters]

Excellent! Very thorough!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks Jon… For watching and commenting. Much appreciated. 👍

Great work! You’ve shown great detail on how things should be done! It really helps to educate “us” on how proper metal work can/ should be done!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks! Figuring it out as I go. 🤞

[@maxfastest]

This type of repair and rebuild for some is very satisfying. But as I age I am not as motivated as I once was. Right now I'm doing a 69 Camaro and it's been 10 years since my last project, and I can feel the difference physically. But when I'm finished it will be worth the effort.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Amen to that! A lot of work and not for the faint hearted. 👍

[@ElrodsGarage]

Nice work! It's a real dance to get everything fitting together. Are your frame rails the correct length? I had to cut an inch off mine.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

From what I can see, so far so good. Not an issue. 👍

[@LakeAndLodgeGarage]

Hi Ken. Great video! I notice you have the convertible vibration dampener mounting plates on the bottom of your trunk floor. Did those come on the floor or did you buy them separately? What brand is your floor? And if you sourced them separately where? Thanks!

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Hi, Yeah them came on the Dynacorn trunk pan and the convertible brace at the torque boxes came on the Dynacorn floor pan too. I’m happy they did for what it’s worth.

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Very nice. I really like how everything is lining up.

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

Thanks. I appreciate the vote of confidence.

[@jayo7737]

Wow ,looks like sooo much work

[@ParadiseBayCustoms]

😀 As I’m fond of saying… “It’s a process!” After each little milestone there’s a nice sense of accomplishment that keeps you going. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

How can I get a Correct jig for a 1967 Camaro or the measurement for a jig

[@cdh1492]

I’ve never seen anyone do exactly this! Love it! But, one would like to ask if I could. What’s the man hours/ price range that this type of work should cost?

[@maxfastest]

The hours are endless, The cost of paying some shop to do it is prohibitive. It's best to do it yourself.
