Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

man i sure like that radiator cover. do you have a 69-72 front end laying around you could lay them on and see that would need to be done to fit them?

Trucks looking sweet

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

what I meant was that you really want fresh COLD air for that puppy to make make power. If all the air has to come through the radiator then it's going to be hot...

If there was a way to extend that air filter to reach fresh air (through the rad support or below it) then it would "seem" better... i'm not eninge pro though, just an observation...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

When I put the burb back together, I'll take a look at that.

I'm picking up what you're putting down, :), I will eventually try to plumb a "cold air" box for air intake. Which should make a big difference.

How have things been going Robbie?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Theyve been pretty good! How about you rob? I see you have plenty of toys! Lol ill have to come see ya soon and check those out

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Sounds good.

Well I finally got the new insulation and floormat installed. I can really tell the difference on the inside of the cab as far as heat and noise. This pretty well wraps up my interior "remodel", :). Just a few more little things and I can call this "Build" complete, :D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Very Nice Rob!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

:agree:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Very cool interior....classy and all business at the same time!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Who sells that floor mat? Looks like its molded pretty tight. How do you like the quality and thickness of it?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks guys! It's simple but clean.

I got it from Early Classic, but it came from one of their vendors but I'm not remember who. The quality and an thickness are great as well as the contours. It has a few air pockets, but that's mostly due to me using the Fatmat (double layer). I think they will go away after sitting the truck out in the sun for a few days.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks for the info. I think thats what I'll be using in my farm truck, after I get the body work done with.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

now what? :lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

where did you get the fat mat at?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Truck looks sick Rob... especially pulling away at like 85mph!! LOL. I wont tell anyone how fast we actually went...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I really hope you weren't taking that picture as he was pulling away at 85 mph. Haha, crazy!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

well... um.... does it help if I say I had my seat belt on? Robs truck sounds like a jet taking off from behind it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Haha, fair enough. Lol, if you PM me how fast ya went I won't tell a soul. ;)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Oh wow! That interior looks really nice!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

looks sweet , whats going on with the cupholder, is it attached , lets see some pics

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

wow awesome pic
is that a mustang?
maybe a 69-70?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

:D

I ordered it off of their website. It's the same price that they list it on ebay.

:metal:

Thanks!

Thanks. I got it at a boat shop. 2 machine screws hold it on. I posted pictures of the install a few pages back when I put my seats in.

Nova...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

wow I did my insulation the same exact way couple years ago huge difference!!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

i did the underneath of my cab with sprayin bedliner, do you think i will need to do this to my floor also or do you think the bedliner will kill all of my noise and heat ??

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

looks great rob

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

well what i would do is exactly what big al and hart rod did on top and that +the bedliner on the bottom= a real nice interior dont bed line were you put your feet

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

To funny, :)....

Thanks!

+1, The bedliner will cut down on some of the noise, but it will probably not do to much for the heat. For the price, you can't beat the added protection of the insulation, JMHO.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

bedliner will do great as far as road noise and heat also from rock damage on the uderside of fenders etc... works great we had a 1934 Ford Sedan we did the lining on all the underside of fenders and it saved them from rock stars and even a tire weight that came off at 80mph on the freeway if the lining wasn't there it would have went throght the fender instead it pushed a reversed dent to the top of the fender and with a hammer wrapped with a rag and a dolly tapped it back in and was back to looking good so i highly suggest it.... as for the inside i would still do the fatmat or dynamat because it makes it real nice inside with the windows up no noise and helps with audio just my 2 cents:rolleyes:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

lots of guys stick piece of that fatmat or dynamat on the inside of the outer door skin plus a little on the larger back wall panels too...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You ever get tired of those wheels and want to sell them let me know....

;)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Hey Rob....forgot to ask....how much Fat Mat did you use??....Going to order some and need an estimate:D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

+1

Will do, :D.

I bought their $129 kit (2 rolls) off of their website and have 3/4ths of a roll left.
