Very nice work, John. The roof of the car will reflect a lot of noise coming from below. What you did with the sound deadening was smart and will work very well at keeping road noice down inside the car.

Getting the subframe painted so it can go on the car permanently. Taking a bit of a chance on the placement of the mounts for the bar that ties the front bars together but worst case they get relocated later.
Sprayed the sub and few other parts with some DP90. Will paint later this week.
Was able to match the 75/25 gloss of the DSE powdercoat using Omni clear with a flattening agent. I broke the line at the welds so it matched pretty well. The match at the subframe connectors wasn't as good, so sanded the whole thing down and sprayed it with PPG black and then PPG 8115 clear. Much better all one sheen. Was just trying to keep the PCoat for toughness, wanted the roll bar to match the firewall...blah blah blah. Clearly a minor problem in today's world!
