In this episode, we take a tour of the jeep tub and the rotisserie. Patrick gives an overview of the progress made on the driver side floor since the last episode. Next up, we remove the passenger side hat channel. We then tackle reinstalling the driver side hat channel. Patrick does a little shrinking and bumping to get the floor flat and then MIG welds a new driver side hat channel back into place. Finally, Patrick gets to try out his new/old pinch spot welder on the side step. There is a little learning curve, but the results are fantastic.

We had some requests to make these videos longer. Since each of these projects usually takes over an hour, we showed more in this episode, including shop chatter while we did the work.
