I don't know if you got any seam sealer tape for the Dynamat or not if you didn't I recommend you get some or some of the tape that looks like foil they use it on duct work, reason being I installed Dynamat and where you cut it it tends to get pieces of the backing here and there and it will end up getting all over everything clothes bottom of shoes shop floor you name it I learned the hard way Good luck and keep up the great work and Thanks for the pictures.

dude your doing a fine job. my brother welds every single day and still sometimes when working with sheet metal he is unhappy with the results as well no matter how long it took him to do it. no matter what atleast its tight and no longer a hole in the floor. 10 years is a long time but look at it like this. my y88 is a 15 almost 16 year gig between me and my uncle and its far far far from done and really needs to come back apart 100% and be put on a rotisserie with bbq sauce.

I see that you are using chassis saver.  How well does that work at stoping rust?  The guy that I got the Yellowbird from recomended it but another opinion never hurts.

I just started using it in last couple of months so I don't have a real opinion yet. The outobody shop I got it from swears by it, and it goes on harder then the hubs of hell. It can be thinned and sprayed or brushed on. It is really thick, and sticks to everything. I am happy with the results so far, but it dries streaky when you use a cheap brush. I plan to get some more today to paint over the seam sealer I plan to get today.

The guy that I got bird from always used the foam brushes... really cheap, one time use.

I picked up some foam brushes but cash has been scarce so I haven't had the oportunity to pick up more paint...haven't had the time to work on the car either!!

oh well...I can only do what I can do!!

excellent work man! I really appreciate your story, as mine is very similar. I have had the car for18 years, and am finally attempting to put it back together. Yup, understanding wife too, most of the time I have had extended FAMILY members mock me and actually make fun of me for having "pieces of metal in my garage" that would never get done. I still remember the stupid look on his face the next time he saw it and I pulled the cover off the reveal the mirror finish Marty blue paint! I will never forget it, and oh yeah, It WILL get done!!  NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot accomplish something!!

Keep the pics coming, I am enjoying this one!

As long as you touch something, think about how to do something, and accomplish 1 little piece every week or so, you will keep your momentum. Working for me the last 12 months or so........Still a long process. Wife, kids, and work come before, ALWAYS....
