Some people have that ability to be able to record and narrate a video. My apologies but I am not one of those. It would be full of “Ah’s” pauses and just bad language. I have a Project Journal that will document the floor replacement and my thought process thru the entire project.
The issue with replacing the floor is, in most case’s the rot goes beyond the floor into the cowl assembly. The cowl ties into the floor, door, fender, the rocker panel and the front cab support. Lose the cowl and you lose all your measurements.
The second issue is the replacement patch panels that are available today, just don’t fit very well necessitating massaging the panel to fit your existing structure. Most bodymen recommend replacing only the rotted sections (not the entire replacement panel) so you don’t lose the existing fitted parts which help you keep you dimensions in tack.
Fortunately, my cowls are in pretty good shape so it makes replacing the floor much easier as in I’m only fitting the floor to the existing sheet metal.
