Removing the passenger side floor pan in a 1965 Mustang.

Part 2 in the Mystique series. I'm removing the floor pan and a patch panel installed previously.

A replacement pan that came with my car had the flange bent down. I had to rebend it up to mimic the original. The last “craftsman” probably bought that same brand and installed it as is. Thank you for the videos. It has been a huge help as I’m new to Mustangs and mine has plenty of rust to practice my workmanship on.

[@exxplosive]

I always look forward to watching your videos, so much information thanks for sharing.

[@KingsDisasterGarage]

Patiently waiting for the next video car is coming along great!

[@justaroundmidnight6207]

Great video. I'm researching various approaches before doing my own floors. You put a lot of thought into the job and shared a lot of good information on what to do and what not to do. Subscribed.

[@sacooper802]

a new trick for vintage mustangs, just out recent are lower seat pans from NPD, about an inch or more lower great for aftermarket racing seats, also lowers center of gravity of the driver. originally for cougars but now a new mod for mustang as a lower pan option that cougar used for those taller luxury seats. before this part was available guys would cut there seat pans lower themselves

[@MustangConnection1]

Great stuff and great explanation.making a tough job look easy.

[@edward09603]

I am not sure if someone has mentioned it to you, but that old front floor pan probably a convertible floor pan. Coupe and FB point up, but the convertible flanged point down on Mustangs.

[@Motomadman43]

It seems that most of the places I have been looking for floor pans for my 68 coupe are only offering the "convertible" floor pans with the flange bent down. The descriptions simply say to bend it up or cut it off and seam weld it.

[@tectalabyss]

Well done has always. Very useful tips on doing the job right.

[@Rudderify]

Awesome stuff and thanks for the explanation! Can't wait to see more.

[@340tats]

What is the spring under the passenger floor pan? I may or may not have cut mine when removing my floor pan

[@JoDaddysGarage]

That is a tension spring for the parking brake. It keeps the cable from dropping.

[@340tats]

Thank you so much! Definitely subscribing to your channel

[@gazzathefish]

The front section of floor pan that was removed was from a convertible, the flange is bent down.

[@curtisthornton2361]

I have a 69 grade with all the the same issues including leaf springs mounts rotten what does one expect to pay someone to do these repairs correctly... my grandfather had helped me build the motor and trans a beast 351w and would love to pass on to my son.. just looking for insight I was told once anything can be fixed but money talks...great and informative videos

[@kennethsmith1744]

Always wanted one of these

[@PhillipHall01]

Very interesting, thanks for posting .

[@HRsFamilyGarage]

Great stuff, learning lots, thanks

[@svsalacia6495]

Nice work

[@brittaniegierloff9650]

did you completely strip the car before installing these? Also, thank you. This is really informative and helpful.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

It's best to have all the interior out for sure. This car came to me with everything already out.

[@MrJcardimen]

Great video. Really looking forward to the next part. I noticed that you're doing the job with the car on its suspension and wheels, as opposed to putting it on a rotisserie or jack stands. Are there any risks or downsides one way or another?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

+Jeffrey Cardimen No risk at all. The main shell of the car supports the structure. The pans are really just there to hold the seats.

[@ionutmunteanu9057]

How much you will charge to do this for a Mustang 1965? The whole floor is bad plus the engine bay. Thank you!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Send me an email. [e-mail]

[@galacliva]

Thinking about buying a 65 Mustang in the next week. From what i hear it might need the floor pans replaced. How much do you think it would cost to pay someone to replace them? Including parts.... The whole car would have to be Taken down to frame to replace it right?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

That's a good question. It may need more than just the pans depending on where the rust is, and how far it's gone. Send me an e-mail with some pics. [e-mail]

[@bdyt]

Sub'd..... starting my 65 Fastback and needs most of what you're doing.

[@rowdy4asbell]

I’m about to get a 66 to start on, the back pans are completely gone is it better to replace the whole thing or just what’s needed?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Whole thing.

[@hazeleyechef]

Hi Jo what type mig welder do you use ? i just purchased a nice mig welder from harbor freight.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I use a Lincoln 140T.

[@hazeleyechef]

Thank you so much for your all your advise, i'm getting all my parts from mustang unlimited, almost got them all. Happy Father's Day.

[@1armedguy4]

Good day Sir ! Fine job your doing, Just wondering what happen's when you over-lap the patch and weld the top-side , does the over-lap on the bottom-side get welded also or sealed to stop water and such from getting in there and rusting ? Thanks for the informative video's Hfx NS. Canada

[@JoDaddysGarage]

+1armedguy The overlap is dollied flat and can be welded, but it's not necessary. I will treat the metal and seam seal it.

[@c4d2x0x1]

do you have an email. I have a 64.5 here in NEPA that I want to redo. I would like to ask a few questions to prepare myself.

[@c4d2x0x1]

and...email was in comment below... I will be sending you a few questions.

[@betofagundes5550]

Parabéns pelo vídeo, ótimo!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Obrigado.

[@LsShadowLs]

I'm new to the whole repair and fix. Great detail. Super helpful. I would say show us a little more of the cutting. :)

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Working on that. Newer videos show more details.

[@hazeleyechef]

Hi Barry i was replacing the full floor pan on my 65 mustang coupe and found out that my floor supports are cracked right by the transmission mount support. Would you recommend to replace the two support and transmission support. i have pictures to show you if you would like to see it further. Thank you once again

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Send me some pics. [e-mail]

[@phillipgreshamdhhs5906]

Great video! I am curious, in replacing the floor on the 65 mustang it shows your solid lap weld on the inside of the car, Do you also run a solid weld under the car or how do you finish it?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I do not typically weld underneath. I will trim excess from underneath, and blend to a point. Then I treat and eventually undercoat.

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Great vid, looking forward to the next segment

[@georgenettlesjr1466]

very helpful advice I can't wait to start on mine

[@estpst]

what about getting rid of the subframe connectors, and installing the convertible inner rockers.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

+estpst Owner wants to keep it the way it is...

[@maksimgeyman4727]

How do you address the pin holes after welding. It's frustrating for me to weld the pin holes.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

+Maksim Geyman It's frustrating for me to, but I do it anyway. The cleaner the metal, the less likely it will have pinholes.

[@maksimgeyman4727]

I first spray the metal cleaner that my welding supply store recommended before welding. When I was butt welding my lower cowl a few months back, it took me days of getting rid of pin holes. Usually a weld crown develops when trying to weld tiny pin holes. Afterwards I use a Canadian black seam sealer that stay's flexible just like the FORD factory seam sealer was flexible from the Factory. cjponyparts has that seam sealer. Great Product!!!

[@mevans27205]

great videos, what are you doing under the car with this type of overlap install

[@JoDaddysGarage]

In this case, I trim back what I can, and hammer the overlap flat. Deburr, and treat with epoxy, or self etch. Seam seal, and undercoat.

[@mevans27205]

Jo Daddy's Garage thanks for the reply, I see the 10th mtn flag I was in 1-87infantry. Keep the videos coming brother!
