the past few nites i've been in the garage past 2 a.m. working on the car. when i last left off i still had some prep work & welding to do. sunday nite i was determined to get the cabin spot welding done and start with the paint. here's what was accomplished...

the paint came out pretty nice i think. too bad it won't be seen. last nite i scuffed the paint alittle to make the surface alittle more rough and then i wiped it all down, sprayed the area with adhesive, and began installing the sound deadener/heat barrier material. i started with the firewall...

i began working with a small piece until i figured out the best way to work the material, afterall, this is my first time using this stuff. once the section was up it was time to smoth everything out. this is where it got tedious. with all the little curves, cracks, and crevasses it took some time to get everything nice and smooth but it came out looking great. i wanted to, at least, get the upper firewall squared away so i worked on until i was done with the upper most part of the firewall.

looks seamless right? there's actually a few relief cuts all over. i just used some aluminum tape to tape over them and to also go over the seams where the pieces overlap. 

once the top row was finished i started on the section below. it was getting late so this is where i left off...

the pictures really don't show the results well but, it came out well. i've just gotta finish now.

i'm really happy with how far i was able to come in only 2 nites. i'm off the next 2 days and will do some more so stay tuned. any questions or comments welcome. thanks for looking everyone.
