Ripping Out The INTERIOR And Floor Pan Removal On My 65 FORD MUSTANG | Putting On New Tires| Part 3

[@TheJoefussGarage]

Hey there, looks like you caught a break on that floor... Fun to watch your progress here. The wrinkled floor tunnel you found, is perfectly normal. Both of my 65's (one coupe, one fastback) have these same wrinkle features, that is how stampings came out... Remember, they had to crank these things out like Doritos! Love the good, used parts, cleaned and reconditioned. Keep the cost down, and get that gratifying rush of bringing those parts back life !!! I cannot what to see the butt welded floor pan segment ... I did 2" lap joints, when I did my 65 coupe full length pans back in the 90's... Keep em coming !!!

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thank you so much! It's definitely a good way to learn how to weld! Working on the next video now!

I rebuilt a 66 Mustang from the ground up years ago while in High school. Thanks for videos.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

That's awesome!

Younger audience here, born 02, I rocked a Walkman back in middle school, loved it, raised in a very 80s/90s household

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

That's awesome haha! I've just got to find a tape player so that I can find out what's on the tape!

I immediately subscribed when I saw your restoring Video series because its fascinating seeing this beautiful Car slowly brought back to its old glory and you putting your knowledge and so much love and passion in it and its just fun to watch. Keep it up👍

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@Daltondoubledeuce]

Man that sunny So Cal weather 😊

[@alexschoenfield596]

Just started watching. I been restoring a 68 coupe. I put a sheet of steel behind the backseat as a buffer from the fuel tank.

[@martyjohnson-z3p]

Love your video and it's so exciting to see this step by step. You are so gifted and talented! THe white walls look great too!

[@HardDeck]

Thanks so much for putting this out, really enjoy watching your progress and learning what is in store for me in the near future. I am in the searching phase, hoping to find a '67 with a 289. Keep more great videos coming!!!

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thanks so much for watching and good luck on finding your future project!

Loving it dude!

Thanks!

[@troysgarage]

This video came across my feed this morning. Subbed, great work man. Your channel will grow! Keep it up. Going to binge watch to catch up on the latest.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support. This is such a fun project!

"Really humid ... 65-70% during the day" 😂 *Cries in Ohio 98% humidity @ 96 degrees*

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Oh trust me. I know, I'm from Alabama! 😂 You walk outside there and you're immediately wet. haha. I guess I've grown soft being in CA for the last 9 years.

[@spicymsp1383]

@@VanHoutenBuilds I've traveled all over the country (47 of the lower 48) and the southeast US is definitely worse than the northeast/midwest. Just spending a handful of days in Arizona/New Mexico made Ohio that much worse to come back to, so after living in Cali for years I could imagine how much just 65% would suck.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

@@spicymsp1383 It's really only bad when you're trying to get paint to cure without a proper paint booth 😂. I'm constantly fighting that since we live less than 2 miles from the beach. The marine layer is a nightmare haha

[@Wario__]

My dream car as well! Hoping to be able to work on and restore one soon as well. Love the video series

[@GoobGloop]

what sanding pads did you end up using for removing the rust and paint?

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

I used these Nylon Wheels from Harbor Freight! They worked the best. www.harborfreight.com/4-in-80-grit-nylon-abrasive-wheel-with-14-in-shank-60325.html?campaignid=19224063597&adsetid=141668267422&product=60325&store=577&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwufq2BhAmEiwAnZqw8tquPyvyO4Usqs2hmXMZSjXV8yoXJjLbnncdWBC5pZ46Q502GcAKtxoC1d8QAvD_BwE

[@russelblackwell6041]

Nice job on the floor pan seal the floor on the inside with por15 and consider a soundproof under the carpet you wont regret it

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thanks! Yeah the next video will be me sealing the floor with seam sealer, then painting the interior with rust encapsulator plus from Eastwood. Didn't feel like going the POR15 route. Considered it though. Going to go with the Kilmat on the floors, and add in the carpet with the 13oz jute on the underside!

[@kcb9455]

Nice work!

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thanks!

[@bassandhotrods]

Gas cap is a 66 which I prefer to the 65 version. My first car was a 66 C code. Wish I had it back. Nice project!

[@TheSchmed]

Put some drain plugs in if you install a new floor pan.

[@DMUSA536]

My 65 has whitewalls. I get good comments on them because you don’t see them very often. My hubcaps are original. Wish I could post photos of them here. Looking forward to how you decide seam seal and prime.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Yeah I definitely want to get a set of different hub caps, some 65 caps! Check out my other videos, I have all the seam sealing in those!

[@bassandhotrods]

The floors are really good compared to most. The pitting in the passenger floor is normal, as the heater corebis there. I would check to see if the cowl area is leaking in that side. The cowl is notorious for rusting out and it is a pretty involved fix

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Yeah, thanks! I checked the cowl and there is no rust around or in there from what I can see, just some light debris which I am going to try and clean out. Also the heater needs to be replaced. We live in SoCal, so I may just do a heater core delete on the car since there's really no need for it here.

[@bassandhotrods]

@@VanHoutenBuilds I've been down with Covid for a week and haven't been able to work on my cobra or deuce, so watching your progress is excellent therapy

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

@@bassandhotrods Oh bummer! Hope you're on the mend. Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for following along! You in SoCal? I'd love to see the Cobra!

[@bassandhotrods]

@@VanHoutenBuilds I'm in Dallas. I am documenting my stuff on my channel as well. My first love is gen 1 mustangs though. I need to find another

[@vintagethunderbirdrepair9426]

Hey, another interesting video, thanks. Can of worms right? Looks like you have the time and the patience. I like how your okay with keeping it stock. I will keep mine stock too. Rare breed. Thanks.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Yeah I have a love for original things of that era. I do however have an appreciation for resto mods, but I definitely prefer to keep things as close to original as possible.

[@mustangeroo]

Dont worry! That ripple in the trans tunnel on the floor is how they came from the factory.

[@JesseJimenez1101]

Loving the mustang build videos. I’m in socal too and have a 65 mustang. I gotta know where you got the mustang parts! I need some new front seats 👍👍

[@bart709]

I’m in Vegas rebuilding a ‘66, what was the place you got the great deals? Thank you

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

From some guy's back yard. He's a parts collector.

[@ponycorral99]

Mind sharing the name of the place where you got some of the parts?

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

CJ Pony Parts! Also a few parts from Summit Racing.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

If you want the name of the guy I got the used parts from, feel free to send me an email. [e-mail]

[@morganleblanc730]

National Parts Depot is where I buy the majority of my parts. Also there is a vintage Mustang salvage yard that I go to in Fresno when I am looking for vintage parts.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

@@morganleblanc730 Yeah I've ordered a few things from NPD, but they seem to charge more than anywhere else! That's great that you have a mustang salvage yard near you! Lucky haha

[@morganleblanc730]

@@VanHoutenBuilds I have been at this for over 30 years. NPD is a little more expensive however the quality is 1st tier where CJ will actually use 2nd tier quality parts. Also I have experienced several delays with CJ. Kentucky Mustangs is also good however shipping cost is insane on some of the big parts.

[@springman1740]

Great video. Nice fab work on the floor pan. I like the whitewalls and hubcaps too. Classic look for a stock Mustang. Did you find what is on the tape? Btw what kind of saw did you use to cut out old floor pan?

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thanks! Haven't had a chance to play the tape yet, I need to find a tape player. For the saw I just used an air saw from Harbor Freight. It worked really well, much better than a cutoff wheel.

[@bobbyvff]

You should play 60's rock and roll music as background

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

My favorite, but there isn't any that I can legally use for free on youtube.

[@jwrockets]

I love seeing a classic restored. I'm not a fan of restomods.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Personally I'm not either, but I can totally respect it. At the end of the day, we're all trying to save these cars from the scrap yard!

[@massivepumpacademy]

Nice tires frankly

[@rubenpatterson1446]

It may have fallen off a rack

[@EvendimataE]

there is a guy in my area with a mustang like that.....its his daily....the body has lots of dents. the guy dont have extra money to have it restored. im almost tempted to swap my 99 camry in good condition....but like him, i dont have extra money to restore a mustang....LOL
