Rumor has it you are back to the mainland. Hoping to see some updates soon David.

AllC34Me

The rumor is true Chuck. We are here and "time adjusting" back to EST from HST, that is a swing of six hours so it will take me a couple of more days to feel like I am back on the correct time.

I made plans for items to be worked on for my 77 project while I was away and those are heading back my way now so work on the racer and the 77 will begin again soon, very soon.

And I have some items to sell from the 78 I bought for the frame, and that frame needs to head to the frame shop for dimension verification and adjustments if needed, etc. All needs to be planned out now, but I will get there.

So yep, I am back, and will be back at it shortly.

Hope you enjoyed your vacation David. I wanted to jump back a couple of posts and ask about the foam sound deaden-er that you added to the Dynamat Xtreme layer in your car.

Have you used the Dynamat Xtreme by itself in other cars and were you not satisfied with the level of sound dampening that it provided?

How come you didn't go with a Dynamat Xtreme and Dynaliner combo for your sound and heat dampening solution?

I will be removing my interior this winter to do some mods and was thinking of going in the Dynamat Xtreme and Dynaliner direction for my sound & heat solution.

AllC34Me

I read the spec on the dynamat xtreme after installing the dynaliner and then found that other products were also being used to accomplish the same end result at far reduced costs. I put the dynamat extreme for the heat primarily, running that big block will be warm. I am using the foam liner because it is 1/4 the cost, comes in a roll that allows me to use more liberally, and use it where I want and not where it may interfere. I used light heat from a heat gun to help it take a "set" after putting it in the car. I have not glued it down yet, but I will. I will remove the jute backing from my carpet as well.
That is why. The Dynamat Extreme was nice but I still bought more of it to fill in between the areas it did not cover in the die cut kit. FYI.

David,
Thank you for your hospitality today!
I enjoyed the tour of the "bat cave". You have some really cool projects. I enjoyed chatting and insights from others on how they tackle projects. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for coming bye. Always good to meet and chat with another Corvette enthusiast. Have a great weekend.

Nice work, here in Oahu now and not looking forward to that adjustment back to the EST. Took several days just to stop waking up at 4am when we got here...and I was sleeping in.

AllC34Me

Have fun in Oahu, love the islands. We are already talking about our next visit back. Time change is tough, I spent many a morning up and drinking coffee on the patio for two or three hours before sunrise. Have a great time.

Winter is coming so I pulled her outside and took some pictures before moving her onto my trailer. Heading to Gordon's for a little winter engine tuning and steering refinement.

Those pictures answered my questions about the core support being in. I will remove it to setup for the VA system setup.

Super jealous David! Glad she's getting some special treatment this winter.

David, the paint/vinyl scheme looks amazing, looks fast just sitting. Likely the best I have seen. Going to be a blast to drive. Thanks for posting, Mark

You did a great job so far, hard to believe that the car is wrapped and not painted

David and I have tentatively set a date right before Thanksgiving to have his car in my garage. My Vette will go into his "storage" for a while to help move this project along. I will update David with pictures so he can keep this going and moving forward. I'll be busy with it this winter.

Looking forward to your magic touch Gordon. Thanks for helping me keep this one moving.
