Welcome!

I bought two 40 footers- coulda gotten by with 1 if I hadn't done the back wall. I liked the tape, but could just as easily have used something else. I bought the big roll and have a TON left over- 3 or 4 small rolls would have been plenty. It will come in handy at some point, I'm sure...

Thanks for the link its early today and I must be slow but did you buy 2 40 sq. ft. rolls and one big roll of tape? This looks to be a nice cheap alternative to dynamat. I'm very interested.

Yes, and have plenty of both left over. If I had it to do again, I'd prolly buy less tape, but it was nice not having to worry about running out. I can't really comment on the sound deadening properties, as I used peel 'n' seal first, but the heat blocking is awesome.

I just ordered some also. I have fat mat down now (almost done anyway) and will lay this over it. BTW, nothing wrong with bright shiny wheels on a patina truck either. Just saying...

coggonobrien · 09-14-2011, 09:59 AM

do you just tape the mat to mat seams or all edges???

Haha- yeah, I'm really having trouble with the wheel selection... I think you'll be happy with the combination of the two insulators.

They suggest taping the seams. I suppose you could do the edges too- I just ran mine out to the edges of the panels...

i honestly think that is the best job i have ever seen anyone do with the mat..nicely DONE !!

inovermyhead · 09-14-2011, 02:44 PM

Good looking truck man. Can't believe I haven't seen this running the roads before.

Thanks! It really doesn't get out much, excepting weekends and the occasional trip to/from work.

I somehow missed out on meeting any new members on Sat. but I did check out your truck :Gringo, I like it. It also says alot that you drove it instead of trailering it. Like SCOTI said, much respect.

Thanks a lot! It was built to be enjoyed. There was a point on the I-state, it was chuggin' along so smoothly, I forgot I was driving an old truck. Kinda fun working all of the bugs out of the ol' girl...

Boxes in the kitchen...

gringoloco · 10-24-2011, 11:20 PM

Turned into toys in the living room

Please don't mind my grubby finger prints...

gringoloco · 10-24-2011, 11:23 PM

Of course I had to check and make sure the center caps would fit. I'd say they fit better than the chrome caps that came with the wheels- look better too, IMO...

denny5625 · 10-24-2011, 11:26 PM

Very nice!

denny5625 · 10-24-2011, 11:28 PM

Whats the finish on those? looks fairly easy to keep clean.
