One thing we have to remember is we are not building a Mercedes. There's a lot of great builds on this site as well as others. I think we are getting to a point where we are trying to refine our cars to meet the standards of such brands as Mercedes, BMW, etc.. To each his own though. For me, I like to add some refinements to our old steel, but still keep the car true to its roots.

With that said, I do plan to use UPol Raptor liner underneath my car and in the trunk area. I also plan to use Dynamat Xtreme along with a CCF. I'm keeping the jute padding on my carpet and not utilizing anything like MLV. That stuff is extremely heavy. If I were building a stereo system on wheels, then I'd go all out. However, its not really necessary for my build as well as many others.

I am not building a stereo on wheels .... I may do a radio delete and let the engine sing! I will use the 2nd skin on the underside and the trunk and their Firewall product for heat dissipation on the the firewall.

I am just not an audio enthusiast .... how much does all that weight?

So, my birthday present to myself came today .... Chassisworks mini tubs with close out panels. I'm pretty happy, nice quality and everything is stamp with a part # .... instructions are one page, put em in the car :headscratch:

Pictures will follow ... maybe this weekend I can get on em, the roof can wait, this is too cool to let sit idle.

Birthday present for the Camaro from me!

Thanks for looking ....

I wasn't even aware that Chassisworks made tub kits. Having those prefab closeout panels will definitely save a lot of time.

I think the system I have put together weighs in around 135# including the wiring. Not everyone is into audio like myself, I understand that. We all have different goals for our cars. I come from a musician background, so music is a huge part of who I am. I don't play in any bands anymore, but still like to have a nice system. This is the first audio system I have done in nearly 10 years, so I'm anxious to get it and the damn car done!

What color are you planning to do on your car or have you decided on that yet?

that sure is a nice kit with the closeout panels,sure will save time

Not saving time!

What color? I keep changing my mind :confused59:

That is what I thought .... and then I got to cutting and stopped to check where these close out panels were gonna fit, I think they sent me a staggered shock close out :bang: :bang: instead of same side shocks.

Take a look and see, I have not done this before, but I'm sure that piece is not for a 67 Camaro.

That's a big hole!

This is not gonna fit here :hairpullout:

This is the shock tower in the front!

Any comments or pixs of 67 Camaro close out panels would be appreciated.

I still have more cutting to do so not all is lost ... more than enough to keep me busy this weekend.

Thanks for lookin ...

Those are indeed 68-9 closeout panels. You'll either have to come up with our own on the drivers side or check to see if they sell a panel and will swap for the 67. DSE's tubs were for 68-9 only and I had to add a strip to the tub to fill the hole they left due to the staggered shock

just as Makoshark said they are for a 68-69,hopefully they can trade it out for one for a 67
