The floor needs MAJOR rust repair... let's just build one from scratch 😆

The floor is completely rotted from all the rust so there's no point in trying to repair it. Instead, we're going to fabricate the entire floor from scratch which, believe it or not, is a fairly easy thing to do. The first step will be to fabricate a skeleton out of square stock ⛓ BONUS video: • Floor fabrication on 1...

For the comments about the steep drive shaft angle 📐 y’all might want to look under a Jeep. Particularly a lifted Jeep as long as the face of the flywheel or crank pulley is parallel to the face of the yoke on the differential it will work. If they were really concerned they could add a double Cardan joint. But I don’t think that is necessary given the length.

[@roberthoy9922]

By cutting the center of your trans cross member you can low the tail shaft of the transmission so that you have a straight line from tail shaft to pinion angle. Then you can lower your trans tunnel and best of all, not have vibration due to incorrect alignment from transmission to differential.

Chad goes for the unpredictable approach as a method to increase the sale of his product. That is the best way to look at it because why else would you have the engine and trans located where it is and with only guess work as to the relationship between body and chassis?? As for comments, well he asks for comments and there is a comments section. Why are positive comments such as "you actually brought about the twist in the chassis by working on it without securing it properly" interpreted as hate? Here is why: pride arising from ignorance or defiance. That isn't a mark of greatness. And greatness is bestowed by others not self. Let another man praise you and not your own lips is true from every conceivable angle. Now why would you love to hate that?

[@alanwalker1698]

Why didn't you put the body on the frame to build the floor, like you usually do,?

[@johnwade5747]

I remember hearing that you don’t want the driveline perfectly straight at the back of the transmission because the needles in the U joints need to roll just a bit to keep from hammering flat spots on the four-way cross. I don’t think it’s rocket science but I do think this one’s a little steep.The good thing is, it’s easy to change while the body still off, if that fits into the plan
