Hey All

I will be starting my build soon and want to do things right from the get go!! I am going to guess that the GTM has a lot of noise in the cockpit.. What would be the best way and product to deaden the road and engine?? I have sparay on sound deadening but not sure how good it works.. I am also curious to see what other people are using for paint in the wheel wells that will stand up to all the things the tires throw at it with out chipping off.. I thought of power coating them but that is a bit spendy because I would have to send it all off to have done.. I live in a small coastal town and I have no car building resources, it is all shipped in..

Thanks
Mike

I used Lizard Skin on the inside of the car and truck bed liner in the wheel well areas.
The panels themselves were anodized.

Good luck knocking down the sound....Right behind your head is a thin piece of plex that will do nothing to stop the sound.

The sledgehammer effect of this car is part of the fun.

Where do you live?
