    Worthless video and a complete waste of my time. No discussion of prep necessary, tools or technique, floor support removal or body bracing to prevent twisting (your previous response that the body did not need bracing since it was secured to the lift was laughable.) I have been viewing your free videos as a guide to whether should subscribe to your premium service. That's not going to happen based on this video. Someone needs to discuss this lackluster effort with your marketing dept. If you don't get the hint from the negative feedback on this particular video that your strategy is failing, i don't know what else can help you....

    What a disappointment. I signed up and paid for basic not knowing what would actually be offered but videos like this are useless. Not every car enthusiast has a professional level shop with a lift and professional tools. Showing the average rebuilder how to do it with basic tools and a typical setup would be of far more value. Hate to say it but I agree with the other comments, not worth the time. Plus all I keep getting is repeat emails trying to get me to pay more for premium or gold services. Sorry but not wasting any more money.

    I noticed you did not install any bracing before cutting the floor out. You're not worried about the body bending out of shape while the floor is out?

    This was 2 min of my life that I will never get back. Is this an example of your videos? If so cancel me please

    That was the whole video? I have done many of these and could have done a video 1000 times better than that. No one will learn a single thing from that video.

    Well,that was informative! Not!

With the roof structure in place, I'm ready to remove the car from the table. I have it on the rack. I have a set of bars under the rockers, I'm gonna lift the car off the table and take the complete floor out in one piece. This is the type of work at the Installation Center that we excel at. We're gonna put the whole floor system in the car in one piece. It's just gonna be, it's the kinda look that I just really enjoy looking at when it's finished.
