Wayne, the key to the sound insulation is to use a combo of diff insulators to block diff frequencies. Your on the right track buddy. You have to watch out like mentioned before about going to thick on the insulation because you'll have a hell of a time putting the panels back on
only mentioned the towel because i dont remember what is back there and you dont want to short out any circuits that may be exposed to the fillings.
Take your time with moving the brackets. its better to just walk away and have a beer than to get frustrated. keep up the progress pics, it will help a ton when the next guy attempts it themselves.

Hey Dave, I'm going to try to deadin the rear area a little more and even insulate the console more for the heat.
I have some ideas on the on the new brackets on how to make them "Adjustable" and the unit sleeve as well. Will post pic of my idea when I do it.... And also how it turns out...

Nice job Wayne. The Crazy Cowboy kit is on my wish list also. Tell the "camera person" I said "Hello". Oh, and nice pics, Lori. Winter can be a fun time with these cars too, Just in a different way. But I'd stay in the garage if I were you. Winter in the garage= OK. Winter outside= No Way. Looking forward to Step 2.

Just put a couple of washers on the front mounting studs to raise the frame rails up to get on the covers.
