Brake/Fuel Lines going in:

maibe a bedliner like rinoliner works if you paint it on in several layers
all you basicly need to do is prevent the metal from ringing by adding a softer material or weight

Yeh, the whole undercarriage is coated with raptorliner. Looking for additional measures.

WOW! This is an amazing build. Your attention to detail is truly incredible. I wish I had the patience you do. Thanks for sharing

Thanks brother!

A little progress: I got all the suspension pieces stripped down and ready for powdercoat. Also picked up some stainless hardware for mounting the gas tank 💪

Fuel tank install:

It's nice seeing updates again! Everything is looking good!

Seriously, I can't speak for the noico liner or the DEI, but that gaffers tape is tougher than a $2 steak. I was moto riding and a turn signal fell off, hanging by the wires--one of the guys who's a theater nut taped it back on with gaffer's tape. It stayed like that for months, and when I got around to fixing it--that tape was like a weld.

watahyahknow · 03-09-2017, 03:43 PM

oh its pretty strong allright even though you have different qualities of gaffer tape for different aplications , most common is to seal up airductwork in offices and houses

did you know it was originally devellopped to be a watertight seal for ammoboxes ?
that why they allso call it ducktape as water falls of it like from a ducks back (even though people tink its duct tape)

its just that over time (talking years here) the gleu becomes hard and turns intoo powder and the backing basicly crumbles like burned paper

jkeating1 · 03-09-2017, 04:12 PM

Actual Gaffer's tape is different than duct tape. It's used by the "gaffer" in stage, TV, and industrial production to attach or cover things the audience isn't supposed to see or tape down electrical cords on stage to prevent the actors from tripping. It's matte black so it doesn't reflect the lighting. I would never have come across it if I hadn't met a theater guy.

Yep, it's definitely not duck/duct tape. The stuff I bought had excellent reviews and I can see why.

Templates for the DEI Thermal Barrier:

Frizzle Fry · 03-24-2017, 07:17 AM

A little bit more, a little bit more...

Since the trans tunnel is painted and will not be covered inside the car I'm doing a layer of deadener in addition to the DEI thermal barrier. Got the sound deadener in place after a thorough cleaning with wax/grease remover:

ajgriffin · 03-24-2017, 06:37 PM

Looks great Frizzle! Do the Rattletrap guys have any feedback on using this on the exterior? Seems like the environment is a lot harsher in the trans tunnel that what you'd expect inside.

Also, can you tell more about the DEI thermal barrier? I checked out their website and while it looks like it functions well, I'm not sure I'd want it showing much in my engine bay. Are you planning to put any on the firewall? If not, are you concerned about heat in that area?

Thanks man. The rattle trap was applied to an extremely clean surface and will be covered by thermal barrier. So the harshness of the environment will be minimal. I agree I don't want that stuff showing, so none on the engine bay side of the firewall. I picked up another thermal barrier material for under the carpet and the interior side of the firewall.

A few remaining parts back from powdercoating:

I bet if it had bright red print instead of blue, you wouldn't even have used it under the trans tunnel!

Frizzle Fry · 06-04-2017, 03:02 AM

Jumping around as always 😏
Been taking advantage of the good weather to finish/paint/clean all the engine parts. It's coming back together:

Frizzle Fry · 06-04-2017, 03:03 AM

The valve cover is out for paint. Any guesses as to color..?

dug224 · 06-04-2017, 06:36 AM

This continues to be one of my favorite builds!!! The level of detail is inspiring....
