Could you expand on the over sized glass? Was it a special order and how did you flush it?

Anyway, very nice build!

The oversized glass is a product that auto city classics offers, it is designed to be fit to the car. Both the front and rear glass are laminated and can be sanded to fit the opening (if you have a glass company in your area who will do it). I actually did my bodywork to fit the front but I left the rear a bit to tight, I am sending the back glass back to them to be sanded down to my pattern I sent them. As far as flushing it, I had a local glass company simply urethane it in with a small rubber moulding that glues to the back side of the glass to fill the gap. I hope that all makes sense.

The car is turning out really nice. One of these days I will install the same RFID in my 67 Firebird.

Take it off while you still can. I did this once -- big mistake. When the sun hits that metal it gets hot as hell -- and then the dynamat would let go - drop onto the glass if it was down... and well --- yeah -- that was a big mistake.

If it lets go it will push down the headliner. Have you ever had it turn loose from the roof, or was I just dumb for putting it there to begin with. Please tell me it's gonna stay, even if you don't believe it, haha.

I used 3M high strength spray adhesive on the door skin and roof to glue the dynamat. So far no issues yet, even in the Texas sun.

It makes perfect sense, thanks! I contacted Auto City Classics last year and they said they would update their site w better pixs ... that's been some time now!

Glad to see another some actual pixs of their products!

Just noticed the Pontiac emblem on the side firewall area. Nice touch!

I have CLD tiles(same thing as Dynamat, only better) from Sound Deadner Showdown all over the inside of the my truck. This includes the door skin and roof. No issues what so ever. Works really well. These are applied straight to the metal though. I do not have them on top of anything else.

Hey guys,

Still working through a bunch of details throughout the car. Wiring is finished now. Wanted to give you guys a little teaser.

Love the paint scheme!

Car looks fantastic ... great job!

Question .... can you provide the manufacture of the RFID unit? And any difficulties or abnormalities?

I was looking into the Advanced Keys AK-105B unit for my Camaro. http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK105B.html

Just wondered which you choose and how the install went.

Thanks,

Michael
