The aluminum paneling is just about completed. Here are some updated photos. I am not sure which color I am going to paint them. I may also cover the panels with some kind of material.

What about using some of the light weight sound deadening material from Dynomat (or one of those companies)? Seems like that might work toward your goal of helping keep things quiet w/o adding much additional weight.

I am going to be using Lizard Skin on the underside of the car and the back side of the aluminum paneling. Sound and heat should be controlled. I have never used Lizard Skin, but I have seen it on other cars and it seems good. I am using the sound control and ceramic. Depending on how nice I can make it look, I will be using the Lizard Skin or Line-X on the interior floor.

With most of the interior paneling completed, Maier Racing has started installing the door bars. To make it easier for the driver and passenger to get in, we are leaving out the bar from the A pillar near the dash area to the middle. We can always add that later if needed.

Lizard Skin is a great product. Light weight, easy to apply, can be sanded and painted.....

The door bars and paneling are done. Here is a couple photos. They bow out a little bit and the new doors on the inside will need some modifications.

Brian,
The progress on your car has been going a screaming pace, it's a blast to follow. Any update's / new photos since the install of the interior paneling?

The car is progressing nicely. It was just moved from Maier Racing to the home garage last week. Maier finished the first major stage he is to do. There are a few minor things to complete later. At home, we are removing all the panels, suspension, transmission, rear end.... all the bolt on stuff. It is just about back to a shell of a car with the cage. After a few things here and there are fabricated, the car will be going to my body shop to get blasted and get the body work done. All the undercoating, cage painting and flares will be done. Once it gets to my shop, in about 2 - 3 weeks, I will post some more photos. Thanks for watching!

I have a little update. Here are photos of the last items Maier Racing completed before I picked it up and go to the next phase. We added jacking points on each side of the car that are a part of the cage. We also added the fiberglass dash that needs a little more fab work, but is very close.
