Thank you everyone for your kind words; especially since most of you have three times more talent than I do and have the Vettes to prove it

One quick question -- how many rolls of the RAAMmat and sq yards of Ensolite did you buy to do the job?

I ordered and received the RAAMat and Ensolite so long ago I don't remember how much I bought, I didn't have much left over when I finished. However, Rick at RAAMaudio was very helpful and knew exactly how much I needed. Here is the link to RAAMaudio's web page, I am sure Rick can point you in the right direction

Fantastic transformation!! I love the Pewter (not a big fan of light oak...had too many cars with that color interior). You did a first rate job

I plan to do that layer of insulation this winter....when I'm r e a l l y bored!

I think the pewter with tan interior and a tan convertible top, along with the magnisium wheels looks awesome. The pewter interior looks nice too but red........ wow

You gave me hope that I can add the insulation to my vert this winter and at the same time change the stained carpet. Great job.
