Ok ladies & gents, it's time to start deadening!!! I am essentially ripping the ENTIRE interior down to bare steel and deadening EVERYTHING. Here is what we have availible, let's see if I can use it all!!!

The goal here is to make my cabin as quiet as I possibly can, so I will be particularly be paying attention to areas such as the firewall and wheelwells...but not forgetting the doors and trunk, of course. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I am looking for that 'BMW 7-Series' type quietness...and I think I should be able to get it!

080 sqft. Second Skin Sludge (2 gallons)

100 sqft. Second Skin Hazmat

120 sqft. Second Skin Spectrum (3 gallons)

240 sqft. Second Skin Damplifier

135 sqft. 19lb. Carpet Padding

I am going to add pics as I can, now on to the pictures!!!

Ok, now time for some goodies...

Here we can see my, uhhmmm...'Deadening pr0n'...heh-heh

Here we see the backsides of my first doorpanel. I have applied 2 layers of Hazmat to each half of the door. Don't worry about why I tore the door in half, you will all see soon enough! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And here is a shot of the backside of the lower half of the driver side dash. I have applied a layer of Hazmat and covered in foil tape. I am going to thenm do a layer of Sludge followed by a final layer of carpet padding. I am going apesh!t on this section since it should block out most of the noise from the firewall.

Here we can see a side-by-side shot of the C-Pillars. I applied a layer of Hazmat followed by a layer of carpet padding. I am going to be doing this to all of the interior panels.

Here's a shot of that trunk frame thingie, I have no idea what it's called! :scratch:

And here is just a bonus pic of some of the peices I have been two toning as I go...

Here is he first wheel well, so it's time to get started! I first did the driver rear side whel well, lo and behold, the well cannot be taken out; instead the ENTIRE surface need be covered. The hazmat was first heated with a heat gun to ensure full adhesion, and lemme tell ya, this stuff ain't comin' off!! Plus we have to snake around the **** gas line, so let's get started!

First, I cleaned off the wheel well with Armor all wheel cleaner, then wiped 'er down with acetone.

01%20-%20Wheel%20Deadening%2001.jpg


Then I did an entire layer of Hazmat throughout the wheel well.

01%20-%20Wheel%20Deadening%2002.jpg


Then it's time for a second layer! I hit up as much as I could since I limited myself to 4 pads of Hazmat for each wheel well, so the second layer covers about 80% of the first layer.

01%20-%20Wheel%20Deadening%2004.jpg


Next, I covered the Hazmat in a high-temperature foil tape.

01%20-%20Wheel%20Deadening%2005.jpg


 
Next, it's time for some Sluuuuudge. This stuff is thick. REALLY THICK. So thick that you can put a glop sideways, upside down, and it WON'T fall. This stuff rocks. The advantage now is that I can cover everything I missed with the Hazmat.

01%20-%20Wheel%20Deadening%2006.jpg


Finally, after the Sludge cured overnight, I did a final coat of asphalt spray in order to protect my sludge from the elements. Oh, and it's some extra deadening, although I don't knwo how well it'll work. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

That's it for now, folks! I am going to finish the console on Monday (hopefully, the Plastic Epoxy seems to be working well) but I will have some more pics up of the other deadening I have been doing then as well! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
jesus dude.

Ok, so here is what I did TODAY. I did the entire trunk lid in 4 hours!

So we first start by removing the lid and wiping it down with some mineral spirits to ensure good adhesion. I also filled the top set of holes with some GREAT STUFF just because...well, I could!

02%20-%20Trunk%2001.jpg


Next I reached up and inside the trunk and added an entire layer of Damplifier. It was tough snaking my hand behind there, and ****, did I slice my finger good while doing so. Nonetheless, here's how the inside looked...

02%20-%20Trunk%2002.jpg


Then I applied a thick and gooey layer of the Sludge...

02%20-%20Trunk%2003.jpg


 
Next up I added a layer of the entire lid...

02%20-%20Trunk%2004.jpg


...then I taped off the perimiter and added a layer of Sludge. Something interesting that I learned is that the smoother the surface, the easier it is to apply the Sludge. (Big surprise, eh?). This has got me thinking that I may advoate the useage of smaller peices over big ones for the rest of the car.

02%20-%20Trunk%2005.jpg


Finally, here's how she looks mostly cured. Sludge "skins over" afterabout an hour, but most of my areas were very thick, so it is going to take longer. The sun is going down soon, and I need to get this thing back in tonight, so here's how she looks. The cured areas are grey, the wet stuff is the blue.

02%20-%20Trunk%2006.jpg


INITIAL VERDICT: The trunk shuts with a nice reaffirming 'THUNK!' Well, that's it for now, folks! I am likley going to be working on my console tommorow, so enjoy for now!

 
jesus dude.

Haha, you ain't seen NOTHIN' yet, brotha...wait until the suede comes in. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Oh, btw, you were right about the body fill cracking around the climate control trim peice. I had to rework the whole **** thing with a Rigid Two-Part Plastic Repair Expoy, but it all works well now. I am going to sand that down tonight. I am redoing my ENTIRE interior, changing it to a two-tone black and bone...after all this is done, I get to look forward to installing my custom leather seats... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
sweet man. i really cant wait to see this project see through to the end //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

good choice on the suede too my friend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
Jesus was this exhuasting. Ok, so the trunk is now fully lined with Damplifier, with two layers covering the wheel wells.

Here's a boring pic of the trunk all cleaned up and wiped down with some mineral spirits...

03%20-%20Trunk%2001.jpg


Fast-forward 8 hours...

03%20-%20Trunk%2002.jpg


...and here is a shot of the one side of the trunk...

03%20-%20Trunk%2003.jpg


...and a shot at the back of the trunk. I funlly covered the back side of the trunk underneath the trunk latch and all...and yes, you have to remove the entire assembly in order to get to it.

03%20-%20Trunk%2004.jpg


 
Here is a shot of the right side...

03%20-%20Trunk%2005.jpg


...and I crammed the crap out of the mat in order to apply it to the exposed quarter-panel backings...

03%20-%20Trunk%2006.jpg


03%20-%20Trunk%2007.jpg


...and lastly I hit he bar up top on the trunk. Great, now all I have to do is apply the damplifier and carpet padding, but that can wait...I'm beat!!!

03%20-%20Trunk%2008.jpg


 
That is fuckin SWEET!

Keep the pics coming...and I'm subscribing as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
