    This is one of the BEST video illustrations of how to replace/build vehicle floors! You three (yes, Supervisor Boo, too!) show the true VALUE of having the BEST LIGHTING! It's so boring to watch other folks monkeying around with floors....in near darkness! That Arizona sun is your friend in the lighting department. I was transfixed to watch you all. It was PLAIN AS DAY to see what you were doing and see how your were thinking and planning as you went along! Simply outstanding video! Aloha!

    Well done on the job of explanation and repair. My dad had it 4 door belair 1960. You always did love that car and I asked him one day how a few years ago why you stopped driving it. He said he's afraid he's going to fall through floorboards!! He never did get around to fixing those floorboards. It still sits out by the barn because it had a brand new GM replacement windshield put in it that was New Old stock back in the 80s. . He had looked long and hard to find one and it seems to be easier to find replacement parts now that we have the internet. Well I like your fancy metal working tools. A large jaw vice grip rail section and a two-by-four. Years gone by we've been known to use two of those two-by-fours. Those rail sections of handy. Good see somebody using creativity.

    You guys patching the holes in your El Comino floor with stiff paper patterns hit close to home w/me. I used to build McKenzie Drift Boats & for some of the parts, I used paper patterns pretty close to what you did w/comino. Last boat I built for myself I figure I had at least 10,000 - 11,000 river miles on it, in Idaho--M FK Salmon, OR-- Rogue -Umpqua-Mckenzie--Willamette over ten years or so, At the end my guiding it wasn't as pretty as when new, But it was a very depenable friend, but its a little bruised up, hopeing for a little sanding stain with a couple three coats of Marine Spar Varnish. Thanks for video, you put on a good watch.

    I love what you are doing. I could honestly watch this all day. Of course the metal floor bought from the catalogue would be easier and more expensive, but all that fabricating skill would have gone to waste. You both rock on the cutting and welding the bends in the pans. We used to put in metal with self tappers and fibreglass/Bondo the seams and get away with it, but now they changed it to having to be welded in and all metal. NO SCREWS!
    You could try some of that rust restore stuff in those channels. It is an acid and turns rusty metal black, restoring it to some stronger metal again. Forget what it is called.
    Subscribed and ready for the next one.
