Super nice project. Love the way those wheels fill those bad black wheel wells  :droolingbounce:

Looks great. I noticed you installed some insulating mat on your floor. What kind did you go with? Does it appear to adhere well? I ordered some samples from a company, can't recall the brand, but the adhesive backing barely stuck to the metal. Not sure if there is something more to it, but I would not buy anything that had such low tackiness.

That's FatMat, the same brand I used in my '68 Charger.  It stuck real good and was 1/2 the cost of Dynomat.  The kit I ordered had 9 sheets instead of 1 big roll and made it a lot easier to install!  This kit covered the floor (firewall to trunk, door to door) of my Charger.  http://www.fatmat.com/shop/36-sq-ft-fatmat-bulk-pack-install-kit-included-6620

Thanks, I'll look into that.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
