| Hey - sorry if this was already talked about in an earlier post, I actually went back through most of the pages to see if I could find you talking about it - What product did you use as sound deaden-er? Is it the roofing product that has been talked about on the Samba quite a bit? - Just wondering how you like it compared to other products like Dynamat etc. |

I used the roofing product cuz i'm frugal and this is not a show car .
DO NOT put this product on the inside of your roof .
$16.95 a roll ; 2 rolls to do a bug....mine is not a bug anymore

I was concearned that having a flat exterior surface 16 inches high and 43 inches long with no interior support might give me a problem later so I welded in braces
Then I put some sound deadening on
Love those free plastic signs........still have a 5x8 for the ceiling
Filled in the bottom plate ; put a hand hole in the plywood ; covered the side hole

I received a package in the mail today . When I opened it I saw Dora the Explorer had come to visit
The reason Dora dropped by was to give me the pattern for the front carpet for my 66
this is actually 64 ; but I will modify it to fit my needs . Purchasing a carpet kit won't work because of the modifications
BIG THANKYOU to Samba Member Dave from Corona Dl Mar California for tracing his front carpet onto Dora The Explorer wrapping paper

Hey GP, looking good. Is there a reason to only one seat in the type 6? I would think if you have a double bed you would have 2 seats.

I travel alone and will need the room in the passenger front for under dash storage and a medium size cooler .
No Type 6 this week I have to do brakes on the " Purple Car " .

I put foil bubble insulation in the ceiling .
the bent pieces of metal are there to guide the panel into a grove between the original bus metal and the aluminum strips that will hold it in
the metal strips are the pieces used when you put carpet next to linoleum
A little finishing and some trim will keep the bugs out !

Cut most of the pieces of carpet today .
the firewall piece and the tunnel piece didn't need any edge binding so I was able to glue them in place
I have the kick panels ; the door sill pieces and the two floor pieces that will get the edge binding .
BEFORE
Part way
Progress

Thankyou for the positive re-enforcement :
part of taking on this size project is seeing it through the delays ;
comments like yours and Cali-Army-Guy's do help .
I keep seing numbers add up on the thread visit tally and wonder if People like Bobnotch ; Duanel ; Mike Fischer ; 1 ghia and others are still interested .
I tried to check mileage between us but the DRIVING directions don't work . 
..I wonder what is wrong with my I phone
