Wow looking good! Is the reflectix easy to work? What is that carbon fiber look to the windshield frame?
Yes , The Reflectix was super easy to work with . The work I've done on all my trim ( carbon fiber ) is all done by using Hydrograhics . I have another thread That's titled " Carbon Fiber Hydrographics " there's a bunch of pics there
Either you're single or you have a very understanding wife, to let You work on the dining room table! And in the house too!
LoL , yes I'm single . Have 3 kids , 2 are on their own starting their own family & my youngest is at the University of Houston throwing the Shot Put . And yes it's pretty nice to be able to work on stuff in my Air Conditioned " Shop " LoL
Looks like you are REALLY busy on the car. How's the door lock doing??
Thanks a bunch ...and BTW , the lock is fixed ...
Not too much done tonight , working on putting the hardware / locks /latches on new rear storage compartment ...
But i did pick up a few more pieces of my trim along with my seat buckets.
I looked up that Reflectix....seems awful thin for a heat barrier / shield .....or am I missing something here ?
It helps with heat transfer into the cabin. Made for going around heating ducts in homes to block heat.
I think the best way to do the cabin heat / noise insulation is to start with Dynamat all over and double layer in back because there is lots of noise with the fiberglass tub in back. Then Reflectix all over with double layer in the front and along the trans tunnel because heat comes from there. Very important to do Dynamat first so it can adhere to the panel itself to give the solidness.
The Dynamat is a heavy rubber with an aluminum cover with adhesive to stick to the panels and not let them vibrate as much to block sound. And Reflectix is for heat barrier.
With that I got a very solid feeling car that is quiet and has no heat issues inside.
Thanks guys ....stuck in a rut right now . Just found out that my console piece is on back order till mid november . ...kind of stinks when im trying to get it ready for Oct 11th
Anyways , tearing down my speaker enclosure tonight and stripping my other T Top ...updates soon
Picked up some more trim pieces last night , hopefully I can finally finish with the carpet install this weekend . Got the storage compartment put back together so I'm crossing my fingers it all goes smooth .
