Attempt/Mistake #2

[El Campo]

Like a rock!! Haha good video. Speaking of holes... A while back I asked if anyone knew how much space was between the upper and inner roof skins. No one really could give me an answer so I went about finding out for myself! How do you do that you ask? Well I'm not sure if I did it the best way or not but this is how I did it. I drilled holes every 2 inches from the front to the back and measured with a caliper how much clearance was present. Then at the two smallest clearance holes I marked from driver to passenger side and drilled holes every 2 inches that way! Came up with some suprising numbers. Oh, the reason this is important to me is because as has been discussed earlier I plan on installing some sort of thermal barrier/sound deadener in this space. The panel measured 0.03 inches thick so I subtracted that number from all my measurements. The minimum clearance that I measured was 0.22 inches in the region not on a rib (you will recall the ribbing on the inner roof panel) and 0.15 inches on a rib. Measurements this small were only present in approx 4 regions of the roof and the rest were substantially larger. Food for thought! And my Swiss cheesed old cab:
