Looking Good !! Did you tub the rear ? What size tire and wheel do you have on the rear ?

Keep the pic coming !! Will be watching this one close !!

MOREHORSEPOWER, Thanks. I didn't tub it but back when I raced and before I painted the car we modified the rear outer wheel well to the quarter panel. It's actually really clean and I'm able to stuff a 30" slick under there or now a 20x10 with a 275/35/20 tire. I just placed a big order and I'm waiting for some parts. I'll be updating soon with some new photos

64mali From the last photo they look more like a 315mm . I am guesing a 5.5" or 6" backing . We also shaved the lips on the fenders when replacing the rear quarters . Keep the pic coming and the parts roiling . I like the fact that you are building your car as we get ready to build my sons car.

I forget the backspacing but I can measure it next time I have a wheel off if you'd like. I'm pretty sure the rear end is narrowed also. I'll get a measurement of that as well to let you compare. I like the 20's in the back a lot but I think I'm going to get a set of 18's for playing around on the autocross track. That way I don't kill sticky and expensive tires playing on the street. You've also got me thinking about the Speed Tech frame brace kit now.lol. But I think I'm going to finish the mess I started and see how it goes. If I do everything now I won't have nothing to compare it to because I only went fast in straight lines before...

Yes if you can get numbers that would be great . As for the brace kit you have take the body off the frame . But as you said I only want to do it once and now is the time . I live 4 hours north of SpeedTech and we went down to there shop and what a bunch great guys !! They even gave my son a ride in there C10 . I think he is still smiling !!

So it's funny how I underestimate time and materials sometimes, lol. I started to lay down the Dynamat Extreme and figured I would start from the rear. I went to clean the old glue off the package tray and ended up stripping it to metal. Once I was in it that far I figured there was no point in leaving the huge square holes where the roll bar goes through so I made filler panels. Next a little epoxy prime and I can finally start my Dynamat project.

So I start laying the Dynamat and was waiting for my Dynaliner and the cardboard rear seat divider to show up. I ordered the divider and package tray minus the old jute pad because I figured the Dynaliner would be way cooler. Then it gets here. So for whatever reason I didn't pay much attention to the amount of Dynaliner that comes in a roll and figured I would probably get the back half done. LOL, I certainly underestimated that one. So I have a very nice divider board that just quadrupled in value. HaHa. This sound deadening adventure isn't going to be cheap. I'm happy with the outcome so far though.

Sorry not a very exciting update but I am looking forward to getting my interior back in.

Great looking instrument panel.

Great looking car!
I just got that same dash gauge setup
Do you have any pics of the outer wheel well mods or explain what was done?
Tunnel mod, floors, dash, everything looks awesome!
