I hear yeah about the ac. I also gotta keep it, even if I hardly ever use it. If I want a race car w/o ac, then I will build 1. A race car only drives a 1/4 mile at a time, my car drives several hundred miles at a time. T-tops out in the summer with the sun a blazing, your gonna want the ac. LOL

took mine out for a drive out in the country. Breathtaking weather here in the Houston area. Mid 40's, bright blue skies.

Having a custom filler panel made, will be orange under park lights, and turn red under brake. just got finished being cleared.

Sorry about the big break in time, but I've decided to change the size and scope of the build, going in a slightly different direction and BIGGER. I will be posting some pics as soon as I get them. hopefully not too long

How much Bigger can you get!! I'll be waiting for this

Let me guess turbo. Seems like everyone and their mom are bolting on a turbo

**35th-ANV-SS** · 03-02-2016, 04:36 PM

I don't know about that, but I'd agree more people are going the FI route. Something still to be said about a NA car though.

The complete interior ripped out, for dynomat and rewiring audio and all other wires as we are going to leash panels and removing some fuse panels.

**RONS98TA** · 06-06-2016, 06:14 AM

I did the same thing when I wired up my stereo system. Pulled the entire interior out so nothing was in the way. I see the original color of the car was black. Lol

**jonnyman** · 06-06-2016, 06:18 AM

yes, it was black. gray interior. wish I could feasibly change the interior to black but parts are hard to find now lol

John...how much dynomat are you ordering? I'm planning on doing the same thing next month along with new carpet.

**jonnyman** · 06-06-2016, 06:42 AM

haven't gotten around to measure yet, I will let you know when I do

***SMWS6TA*** · 06-06-2016, 06:49 AM

Please do...

Does dynomat also help cut down on heat temps from the exhaust?

I've read where some ppl put some strips on the inside of the door along the outside part to cut down on vibrations and road noise as well.

**jonnyman** · 06-06-2016, 06:56 AM

depends on which of their products you get, the dynamat extreme reduces noise and rattles, the Dynaliner and dynapad reduce temps. you can use them separately or in conjunction with each other. just go to the website and check it out.
