Looks great bro.  Are you going to coat the inside as well?

Wow, that's really moving along nicely, John! :grinyes:  That's a bunch of metal to be replacing, but it's awesome you've saved yet another one. :thumbsup:  Plus, by the time you're finished with it all, it won't look like those panels were ever replaced. :cheers:  Great workmanship as usual! :cheers:

You'll be done in no time. I looked at mine a little while ago. I have to get my entertainment system done first.

Very nice as usual. You got a lot done today despite the fact that half the board called you this morning.  :poopoke:

Does the Gator Guard help with noise reduction as well as the obvious sealing and water resistance qualities?

Man, take a couple weeks off from a thread and look what happens, an English argument and a huge amount of work. Great job John, you do quality work and you do it damn fast too!!   :2thumbs:

What kind of coating / liner are you using. Is it the kits you can get at parts houses?
