New Transition Pan Install! - 67 Mustang Part 33

I finally got the transition pan upper all welded in and cleaned up and it looks so good! I prepped the landing surfaces with weld-through primer and the frames and cross-member with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator before welding in. Considering these places were unprotected and held up just fine, I feel really good about them. I used several clamps and self-tapping screws (and my body weight) to get the pan to lie flat against the frame rails and cross-member.
The frame rails are galvanized, so I was sure to have ventilation and wore a full-cartridge respirator while welding it in.
Next up is working on the floor! Thanks for watching!

I like seeing it come together. I would LOVE to see longer post. I know it takes a bit to put a post together but I watch KZbin like TV and I don't like changing channels. When the post is longer I relax a little longer which is always a good thing. I also like the little comments you type in so THANKS fors posting !

Thanks for watching! Yeah I get it, I sometimes like the longer ones too. Right now I’m letting however much time I have to work on it drive the content length, but I’ve been toying with also putting out longer format videos. Just not sure how it would integrate in with everything else - if it’d be a different channel or what. Regardless, hope you still enjoy even if they’re a bit shorter for now!

Excellent Evan, all of your attention to welding it back solid will pay dividends with a stiff rattle free chassis. It really does make a lot of difference.

Thanks Don! I hope so, there are few things that drive me bonkers quite like car rattles!

Everything you are doing is looking great. I just recently did all the same to my 65 . Just finished up the floors. One thing I did have to go back and fix was my gas tank opening. It was to narrow at the transition pan side . Just give that a quick test fit before you finish welding.

[@evansmessygarage]

Right on, thanks! Yeah I dropped the tank in and thankfully it lined up okay. I have nightmares I’ll get through all the metal work and nothing fits back together!

[@michaelpagliarini4785]

I understand that very well.

Hey there brother, it felt like, so long, for the next video segment, again.. Though it was worth the wait !!! Honestly, BTW, I don't mind the talking so much... That trans pan job came out beautifully 👏!!! Can't wait to see the whole floor, all in one color, and strong as a rock... carry on...!!!

[@evansmessygarage]

Yeah, you and me both! I wish I had more time to work on it, but it’s just free time on the weekends, so progress will be slow, unfortunately. Thanks for watching and I can’t wait to have a solid floor in it again too (it’s been about 8 years since I first cut out the driver side floor thinking I’d get to it quickly 😂)

I bought my 65 FB in 2016, though due wife's health and having to move, I couldn't start work on it until Jan/Feb 2021, and I've made some good progress so far, and feel its excruciatingly slow.. I cannot imaging, start and stopping over 8 years!!! God speed to you brother...@@evansmessygarage

Ha, yeah it was in storage for ~7yrs while I was overseas, so a lot of projects got started then hit pause on!
