How to Install Floor Pans with Detroit Speed Mini Tubs and QUADRALink: Pro Touring Camaro Build

How to Replace Floor Pans? Make sure you get it right! The "oh-so" IMPORTANT alignment of the full floor assembly, including the floor pan, trunk pan, tail panel and frame rails. There's a lot of complexity back there on a first gen Camaro and all the aftermarket body panels need to line up and you need to ensure your Detroit Speed suspension is aligned properly too. We'll get into it and you'll see why you need to get the Camaro full floor replacement RIGHT! #floorpanreplacement #fullfloorinstallation #1967camarobuild YouTube:    / @paradisebaycustoms   Instagram:   / paradise_bay_customs   Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nzpT4XRLGO 00:00 Intro 02:57 The Strategy 05:30 Establish the Centerline 13:23 Roll it in 14:22 Final Test Fit #carbuild #carbuildproject #projetcar #carproject #projectcarbuild #carestorationproject #1969camaro #1967camaro #1968camaro #firstgencamaro #protouring #restomod #holley #detroitspeed #protouringbuild #customcar #musclecar #classiccar #chevrolet #chevy #chevycamaro #camarotailpanel #framejig #framerails #dynacorn #sheetmetalpanels #replacementcarpanels detroit speed mini tub installation, detroit speed quadralink installation, detroit speed suspension, detroit speed camaro, trunk close outs, upper shock cross member, upper link front mounting pockets metal fabrication, cutting, grinding, welding, horsepower, ls engine, lt engine, tremec t56 magnum 6 speed transmission, rotisserie, car restoration Today, I'm going to finalize the fitment of the full floor assembly and then roll it under the 1967 Camaro for one last test fit. So I can proceed with confidence and cut up the frame rails and start the Detroit Speed QUADRALink and Mini Tub installation. The first test fit from the previous video, things look pretty good. A lot of confidence in terms of where that floor pan fits. You have the toe board seam. Reference points for the subframe and those cage nuts to the frame jig. You have the frame rails and the torque boxes of the floor that butt up against them. And the overall tight tolerances of the rocker panels, boxing, everything in to give you the needed confidence to know that the floor is in the right spot. But as I work to finalize fitment of the trunk, that's when things got a little sketchy and it's an important point that I want to drive home with you today. So stick around, I'll even give you a strategy in terms of how I'm going to deal with it a little later. And the point is aftermarket sheet metal is not like a flat pack, Ikea bookcase. Okay. There's not a lot of tight tolerances in terms of how these panels go to. And for the most part, they don't go together. Step one, step two, step three and so on. All right. Okay. That's not rocket science. You've heard it before. Bear with me. I'm trying to make a point here. Okay. So let's illustrate that. I thought I'd line up the inner tail panel to the trunk pan. Figure it would help establish the trunk pans location. You know, front to back, after all it butts up against the frame rails. Right? You would think that should be pretty easy. You simply measure the width of each panel, divided by two mark align line things up and you clamp them together. Bob's your uncle? No problem. Well, no such luck. And that's the point I want to make and show you. Stay with me, We're almost there. So I know you get it. Alright, thanks Captain Obvious. Uh, so having said that what's the strategy. All right. So I was watching Jubee Mays recently, aMAYSing metal works. If you haven't seen him, check him out, good guy. He basically said that you need to, uh, let all these various after-market panels speak to each other. Okay. So what does that mean? Well, at the AMD Installation Center where he works, they basically assemble an entire body with aftermarket panels and secure them with sheet metal screws. Okay. Get all the various tolerances fitting pretty good, screw it together. And that allows them to adjust as they go to zero in those tolerances.
