I don't see how you can do this job with the engine in place. I wouldn't weld back there with the engine and the fuel lines in place. It's not a big deal to remove the engine and tramsission as a single unit.
Here's the new Pelican Engine Bay Pad back in place. You'll also notice the engine is back in place.
Wayne will be happy to know my shop liked the pad. They said it was easy to put in place and it looks good.
And now we get to the floors.
This is why this stuff gets of expensive. While everything is out of the car we might as well - - -
Years ago I took all of the sound deadener out of the car. Track cars don't need sound deadener. Track cars like noise. Ok, at least I didn't mind the noise. Now though it's going back to the street just like the old horse put out to stud.
The trick is finding the almost correct stuff. Wurth has the good stuff but they don't sell it in the states. We're looking at the 3M material. Also a product made by DEI. I'll let you know which we decide.
Since I'm spending over $1,200 on the carpet kit $500 worth of sound mat shouldn't be a big deal. Oh well.
