Yeah, I did those 138,000 holes with a step bit. PITA. But you work with what you’ve got.
another great video
ol Dylan's learning a lot in this one!
glad to see that pan in...one day quicker to....
THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!
Looks like another case of cut it till it falls in, weld it so it stays.... good job guys.
Yeah, that dang back wall cut hurt my heart.
Son... get the strap! Great work! I was thinking to myself, "Nope! Not gonna fit without cutting the pan in half."
Awesome
I have a 66 ranchero and need to do this also I see you are using a 65 falcon floor pan. My research came that the 66 ranchero used the fairlane.
Yes the 1966 Falcon Ranchero moved to a Fairlane chassis.
With speed, anything will fit! :)
Lest we forget force...😜
Doin a great job guys
good grief, im almost regretting the choices I've made with my ranchero's floor pans! lol Awesome video! Keep 'em coming! Brief update on my progress: Engine ( at the machine shop), Bell housing (check), ECU EFI ( check), undercoating ( check), leaf springs ( check) and a few other odds and ends! 2 steps forward 1 step back. I have to redo the spings on my alum heads and the seals, have to get a new cam too, water pump, flywheel and oil pan. *sigh* oh well ;)
Keep at it my friend, we are!
Great video Jeff, good talking to you the other day, still battling Borgenson install, but I always win.
You too! keep fighting. You'll get it.
A tedious job but worth doing it yourself. I did mine and it was very satisfying. Always awesome vids!!!
It was a huge struggle to get where we are. But once that floor hit the rails and dropped in...Logan perked up.
It's amazing what we gear heads will put ourselves through just to give an old rusty bucket of bolts a new lease on life. This hobby of ours is truly a curios pass time, but it makes for great stories, and what more could you ask for. Thanks for working through all the problems to get that floor pan in, and now that I've seen it done, I have no more excuses to hide behind, so I have to get busy on my own Ranchero. But I find myself waffling between, Thank You and Thanks a lot..... OK i'm over it ......Thank You! Great video! Well done guys.
Golf...golf is a curious hobby. Where else to you put your balls on green grass and whack them hard enough with your stick to send them sailing? All so you can do it again. Thanks for the kind words. I actually enjoy the figuring out, the finished product.
Great to see it fit in place finally. Lots of fighting. It’s easy for us to say this and that. But each car has its own way of coming together. I’m just glad to see another falcon getting saved!
This car/truck is going to be sweet when it's done!! 🍻🍻
Well looks like another good episode thanks and have fun ..lol just remembered i need to send you some video links i promised i forget stuff ill get it done though
Please do!
@@AutoRestoMod Hey don't know if I missed it but is there a demo video for this Ranchero as well? I'd have loved seeing how you tackled stuff like removing the bed cover that goes over the "back seat" part of what is essentially a station wagon. That's where I'm at and seeing how you tackled that removal and the subsequent issues around that area would be cool. Thanks!
Wish I had known about that punch tool before I started working on my floorpans. Drilling all those holes was a pain.
Still have to have pain on the frame rails and torque boxes. We'll be over 200 holes by the time we're done.
Next time look at cutting the floor pan on the high point of the seat risers. Great job men!
Not doing that again...HAHAHAHHAHAHA
If this is 3 years old but it sure is hopeful for me today 10/5/23
Does Dyanacorn floor pan have marking for the cut out for the 4 speed floor shifter ?
What about cutting the new floor pan across on the flat just before going under the back cab panel rather than cutting the back cab panel. you could put front part in through the door.
Didn't want to cut the floor. The back panel is easy enough to weld and it is kinda six of one half a dozen of another.
Do you have any videos on patching or repairing the floor of a truck bed?
We're waitng for some stuff to come down the pipe to do that. The current bed floor is for the later trucks and does not have the right spacing. But the rumor mill is ginning about some 1961-72 Bed Floor material. So keep watching!
Thanks for the great video.
Do you have Manic Mechanic shirts and hoodies available to purchase? I could only find your Autorestmod shirts.
Working on it! I'll have more merch up by this weekend
You could elevate the car more... Than would have clearance to go down
Nope. vertical clearance isn't the issue. the length of the pan in the space between the front and rear of the opening.
@@AutoRestoMod Alright. Problem solved! It's fitting well now.
Thats cool I see why my body guy said thats easier than pieces
Yes. once it is in. All spot welds. If this hade been a hardtop or convertible, I would have been done three weeks ago. The Ranchero is the hardest one to do outside of the four door or sedan.
@@AutoRestoMod i see it was fun getting in there. Ones just like that is sitting in a little yard even white lol I was wondering what chances were a 64-66 mustang front clip would fit though that would look cool
First, let me say that I enjoy your videos, and don’t want to be critical, BUT, I would have split that sucker down the middle, and butt welded it back together.
You still get a thumbs up!
Couldn't you have split the pan lengthwise then welded it back together?
Yep. but sometimes that can bite you too. I will be doing a bonus video on what we could have done in a couple of weeks.
Is the 63 falcon floor pan the same as the 64, 65 you say you are working on the same?
I think the '63 Pan is the same. But not completely sure. I do know that earlier firewalls were smaller at the tunnel.
Autorestomod Manic Mechanic Gasoline something? I would suggest you pick a lane and focus on that.
STORY TIME! We have two main shows, Autorestomod and Manic Mechanic. Two different advertisers that sponsor those shows National Parts Depot sponsors Autorestomod, and this show, Manic Mechanic, is sponsored by Auto Krafters Inc. Gasoline Media is our umbrella company that covers both of the shows (and any other we do on here: Ford's Focus, Conversations With Bill and Jeff). We put both on one channel to help views on both shows. As you may know, with two subscribers, it is hard to start a new channel to do other shows. So, we put them all on one channel under Gasoline Media. We leave the other stuff in the title for the web crawlers to chew on. Of course, you won't read this far (or read this at all) so I don't know why I waste my time explaining.
Autorestomod Manic Mechanic Gasoline Media Thanks for replying. I read all the way through and sincerely enjoyed the story.
Nice video. I'll be doing my floor pan in the near future. I like your trick with the pneumatic punch. What did you use to deepen the throat?
We dismantled it and used a hacksaw and then cutoff wheel to deepen the throat.
I know I’m sitting over here armchair quarterbacking, and I’m by no means an expert. I’m also not saying this would work. Basically I’m just saying I’m not being a jerk, but could it have been possible to put it in if you had cut straight up on both sides of the back wall but left it attached across the top?? Maybe it would’ve given enough flex to wiggle it in. Just spit balling.
I thought about that. But the metal would have been stretched. We used up a good deal of the space we made getting the pan in. A bend that deep would have caused issues getting it back in.
Autorestomod Manic Mechanic Gasoline Media not being there to see, I wasn’t sure how close it was to going in and how much you’d have to bend the wall. The biggest thing I was looking at is the amount of welding it’s gonna take to fix it.
Logan looks like he is always bored... Let him with his cellphone and bring some friend who really likes restoration...
He is really shy and this has been a hard slog for him. LOTS of behind the scenes work that no one but me sees. So to put a cap on it, he is like me and done with the floor pan...I just hide it better. LOL
@@AutoRestoMod Ok. I understand. My bad. Just the impression. Good progress.
