dat240zg Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well, this summer started as a simple (tongue in cheek) V8 swap and has grown to take on a life of its own... While I was at it....I decided to strip the interior, replace the wiring harness completely (because I was going to have to rewire for my Euro taillights anyway...uh huh...), replaced the seats (the straps were broken on my stockers...sure...), put in a roll cage (for safetys sake....right on...), replace/upgrade all the brakes (more power means more brakes....of course), put a MSA Type3 air dam on (help direct more air for cooling...that's a load), installed a Hot Rod Air A/C system (well sheez..it's a daily driver!) yada, yada, yada...and oh, by the way, still need to finish the V8 swap . But - it's almost there! Here are a couple pics of the FatMat: More pics to follow as progress happens! Life is great! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Yea, "while I'm at it's" are notorious. Thats a clean installation, at least if nothing else works out you will be cool in the Summer and have great sound on your music system. I need to do the same thing, but I'm not really "at it" yet. I'm sure it will get there before long. Very nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 How much weight did you add with the sound deadoning? Did you remove the factory sound deadoning before putting in the new stuff? Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasoline Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 sweet...is she a street car? cos a rollcage can actually be the most unsafe thing if it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcheeze36 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Looks nice! For some reason the symbols remind me of the decepticon's logo LOL: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodlefoof Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I was thinking decepticons too! When I bought my FatMat a few years ago it didn't have any logo on it. The stuff is pretty light. I bought a 100 sq. ft. roll and I think it was about 30 pounds if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks for the words guys. The fatmat added about 22 lbs (I added the amount that I had left over from the 100 sqft. and subtracted from the original weight of 30). I did remove all of the old that was down with the exception of the back deck. I added the fatmat to the inside of the rear quarter panels, the inside of the taillight panel and doubled it up on the back deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
