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.

Make sure you top coat the dp90. it will not hold long term. it will fade and chalk.

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!

Built the molds for the trunk panels. Same as before, lay-up 'glass on top of these molds and then body work the outside later. No real, reasonable, way to make 'glass pieces any other way in this area. At least this method leaves the inside of the panels smooth and flat.

The inner support structure for the decklid around the latch won't clear this panel but it will be easy to create a clean relief starting with an already straight and flat panel.

2 layers of 1 1/2 ounce mat. Will let this cure for a couple weeks on the molds before cutting them out, cleaning them up and building the flanges.

Started a little headliner modification to add a sunglasses holder and map light. Lots more to come here... will build this plug, then a splash mold of this area, then cut out the plug and laminate it up properly. Always planned this but again, will be easy to create this shape on an already straight and flat part.
