Seats out once again and cushions removed and ready to go the upholstery shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the engine work, which I had not planned on, I was planning to add sound deadener to the interior panels. All the carpeting needs to be removed for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A previous owner had fitted 1\/2″ foam to help keep the noise down. I’m told that foam is good for absorbing sound inside the car to keep it from reverberating, but you need heavier buytl like stuff to keep the sound from coming into the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of crud build up on the floors and most of the paint was loose . This year of Chevy used the metal floors. I’m surprised they lasted so well. Some surface rusting, but still quite solid. Just need a cleanup, resealing the joints and then a good coat of paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of scraping needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the seam sealer came away with the crud on the floors. Looks like a factory drain hole in the floor – likely helped to save the metal. I’ll keep that open just in case…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what happened here. The hole may have been there or maybe I did the damage moving engines in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First layer of fibreglass in place. I’ll add another layer to the inside and then two to the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ditto as to crud on the passenger side. Although a lot less paint peeled away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not showing was a layer of felt like material that was on the flat area and the back up to the security blind. The nice factory insulation over the wheel wells is still in place and in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next: problems getting the security blind out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
