    Go to your local roofing supply company, they should have a product that is very similar to dynomat for a 1/3 of the cost. We call it peel & seal, it's around $105 almost enough to do 2 cars.

    You can order one roll of dynomate for like 60$ and it's enough to do from firewall to tail panel. Floor only.

    Ive used peel and seal and it works perfect, just use a heat gun and it will melt and seal great! We used it on a 71 challenger

    Cowl Vent Leakage..

    Been following your posts .. I'd recommend your pour some MORE water and take another look with a flashlight. It might be leaking a small amount that wouldn't readily show. Maybe have a friend pour the water.. and YOU get up under the
    dash .. NOW is the time to fix the leak. ( Ask me how I know) ..Been there,
    done it .. Got the " Tee-Shirt " ..

    Sooooo

    I havent been so active lately....been working like crazy for the family trip we are taking this weekend (disney) but here is some progress ive made.

    I got my hands on a very nice front bench seat locally from a very nice guy who's name has escaped my mind right now, he has 2...more like 3 mavericks him self and i hope to make it to the texas m&g and say hi again.

    Ive removed most of the trim and glass to get it ready for paint and bodywork but before i get that done....i wanna make sure all my electrical is in working order so im gonna be hitting you guys up with some questions about wiring.....that is my most feared nightmare.....wires....i hate wires.....i cant wire a radio lol but patience and help will get it done.....luckly my brother inlaw is real good when it comes to electrical stuff.

    Alright guys ill post again soon!!!

    Nice work on the floor repair. What did you end up using, dynamat or peel n seal? Did the windshield crack when you were trying to remove it or was it already like that?
