The rear deck will be finished out smooth cover with speaker grill cloth and solar screen .

How do you like the FatMat?

Nice product IMHO. Have never compared to dynamat but I really like it for the price. I plan to do the door panels etc as well. Not sure about the roof but maybe.

Lee I am in Texas near DFW area.

Thanks for the approval guys it is finally all coming together.

Glad you decided to go with the Rocket logo on the wheel center caps instead of a bunch of letters and numbers, looking real good.

Futher progress. We are getting real close now to being done first round anyhow. The exterior is now 100%complete (minus new wheels, tires and high perrformance undercarriage which is due in this week. The rest of the interior is also suppose to arrive this week. I hope to get the suspension and steering upgrades done next week if all the parts arrive on schedule.

The old door panel water boards made a great pattern for the new sound deadening mats.




The mods I made to the oem a/c duct work really paid off. The air flow is way better than before. My new multi axes under dash air vent ( nick name "FLOWMO" )will put air just about any angle you want it. It even folds up when not in use.

Well it was christmas in July at my house today. All the goodies arrived in a brown and yellow slay. The wheels look like they were almost color matched to the car. I could not be more pleased.

[srh3trinity]

Very nice. Thanks for the reply on the FatMat. Wheels look perfect for the car/color.

[CruizinKev]

Thanks all as for the tire orientation thanks on the heads up, my first directional tires. I am recovering from back surgery so I had my wife put that wheel on just so I could see how it looks. I have a guy coming today to mount all of them I will have him correct the issue.

As for the fat mat I am not sure. It defiantly works. I climbed in the car and layed on the floor after I covered the door panels still no interior. I started and rev'd the engine. I could barely hear the loud flow masters right underneath me. I mean my 60's hot rod sounds like a new car now. That may take getting use to not hearing the LS1 roar when I stomp on it.

The wheels are on and I could not be happier with the final look of the car. The stance will be a bit different when the new SC&C suspension is installed but not much.









Thanks Jeff & Kim from JD wheels
Thanks Marc from SC&C

Car looks awesome. How much Fatmat did you order? Any asphault smells?

[rockytopper]

No smells so far. I order the 100 sq ft kit I still have alot left. I am going to cover the watershield board behind the rear seat. I did not do any under the dash but plenty left over to do that also. My ceiling already has some oem deadening material or insulation on it so I am not going to be putting it there.
Thanks
