gtscode's interior - update 03/05

[cmayna]

Ok,  Over the next 4-5 days a couple of us will be pretty busy buttoning up Justins car interior sublayer, meaning sound and vibration deadening.  We are using a couple different products from www.secondskinaudio.com.   Doing this will allow his better half to know for sure each time Justin accidently lets one rip. The audio decible level will be frightening to say the least.

In order, here's a couple pics.

Preparing firewall for firewall pad and heater box install.   Applying Second Skin's diamplifier pro vibration dampening material.





Today I applied the first coat of Second Skin's spectrum, roll on , brush on materials in the rear quarter's interiors, a difficult area to apply the diamplifier material.  Tomorrow or Thursday, I will apply a second coat so we end up with a minumum of 1mm coverage.

Once it dries, it will be a mild gray color.  What is nice about this material is that is also protects the metal underneath.




During the next 4-5 days, I will add pics as we go along.

Looking good, hopefully it will get together for Knott's like he is shooting for.

Man looks good!!!  Just so you all know I don't ask Craig to do any of this he just texts and tells me what he plans to do that day!!!

You rock Craig almost embarrassing really!

How is that dampening material held in place? Is it a sticky-back setup or did you have to use a spray adhesive?

Hee Dude , when can I bring my car to Craig's Mustang Stable/Corral in Menlo Park !!!

Up top, I provided a link to Second Skin's website for you to study.  Yes the silver damplifier pro material is is a
vibration sound dampening material is self adhesive.  It works for sound deadening but to go all out regarding sound
deadening, you would then put a layer of  Luxury Liner or Luxury Liner Pro on top of the damplifier.  This is what Shag
has throughout.

By the time you have installed the Damplifier and Luxury liner throughout the car, you have indeed added some serious
weight.

Just a pluggin away.  Spent a couple hours apply 2nd coating of the Spectrum material in the rear quarters as I did yesterday.  I then started apply the damplifier pro onto the interior sheetmetal working from the back, forward.  It's kind of hard to see because the interior is already sort of silverish but if you look closely you can see the very back platform, parts of RH rear and back tunnel is covered.  Hopefully a couple hours of work tomorrow and then Abraham is going to donate 3+ hours to the cause.

Then it dawned on me as I was straddling that tunnel, stretching, and manipulating the foiled material into place.  It's kind of like straddling a woman, giving  her a high demanding deep tissue massage. 

I mean, my fingers are totally sore!!

Oh now you be gentle with my baby! Don't work to hard and I'll see you Saturday with my rebuilt gauge cluster and lots more goodies.

Does the car get a happy ending?

Nice job Craig !! 

[DEL65]

Does the car get a happy ending?

Doubtful, but it will probably want to cuddle until it falls asleep.

Great work, Craig.

Looking good Craig. That second skin looks like a great product.

[KBMWRS]

The car is a mess with KY lube though.

How much second skin would you say you used? Iam about to do this in my 67.

Have you looking into other product - here is what Iam using instead of luxury liner.

mmw68,  I did quite a study of sound and vibration deadening materials which brought me to www.secondskinaudio.com.  They are by far not the cheapest but I liked the information they provided on their website and more importantly they were highly recommended in numerous surveys and forums.

A typical mustang floor is 5x 8  = 40sq ft.  I always go extreme so I'd suggest 60 sq/ft.    You should study up on sound vs thermal vs vibration deadening.  Typically 3 different products.


Today, I finished the back half (under the rear seat).  Afterwards the car and I went out and had a cigarette   

[mmw68]

I agree with you - Ant over at second skin has great products. He has done a fantastic job in the industry of informing people about deadening. We have done several Toyota  Land Cruisers for customers in second skin before I decided to carry my own house brand. I was a wholesaler for his product as well, and only have good things to say about it.

And your right - it Typically 3 different product to achieve the the final result. Your project is coming along great!

[gtscode]

Looking good. How much material do you have left?

The GT's looking good!  I have a question, though.  When I was last active in VMF and Mustang stuff -- which was in May-June 2008 -- gtscode had just had the car painted (iirc) and was targeting Hot August Nights as the car's debut. What's happened since then?  I ask this from the veranda of my own glass house, having parked my '65  fb in July '08 and only  recently taking steps to revive it. So I know how weeks turn to months turn to years. But I'm really curious about this car.

Kids, work, new house - life just gets in the way.  I have a two year old and one on the way, moved into a new house and very busy at work with promotion.  What can I say, I have been busy.  Finally Craig felt bad and is helping me get a jump start.  It will be at Knott's this year.  It wouldn't even be this far without the NorCal gang's help.

Come on now. Were trying to get some work done here.

Second Skin's damplifier pro install completed with the help of Abe.  Tomorrow, I think I'll just sit around, drink beer and let everyone else do some work.  I'm pooped.

Woo hoooo!!!!  Just got home from the airport looks awesome!  Can't wait to see it tomorrow.  Get some rest buddy!

Looks very good Craig . Well done .
I don't wanna be a pain in the a$$ but the rear wheelwells could use some too ?? ( splashed rain in the wheelwell??)

[Jacks65GTVERT]

  Looks great!!

That's not what you wife tells me   

Justin is aware that he has two options regarding the wheel wells.  As we saw in the beginning of this post, I applied two coats of Second Skin's spectrum on the inside of the rear quarter (front area).  This materials is their roll on, brush on equivilant of the foiled damplifier pro material.

On Shag, I pplied 2 coats of the spectrum throughout the wheel well on the outside surface. Outside meaning same surface as where the rear tires are.  Afterwards I painted the spectrum a nice black for it dries a dark gray.  This is much easier in my opinion as compared to attempting to apply Diamplifier Pro on both sides of same sheet metal.  Another plus is that it gives a nice exterior coating protecting the sheet metal from future rust issues.
