I'm familiar with the other brands, but the home center style protecto wrap is about 10% the cost of other mats. I'm not too concerned about top of the line audio so much as health risk/heat insulation. I've been looking at Eastwoods dampener.

Looks like they have a variety of roll lengths. Which one did you pick up? I'm not sure why I want to do the trunk, but I do.

4uall, just checked out your photo stream. Looks like you're way ahead of me exterior wise, but in the same position interior wise. Although, I don't think I have any holes in my floor. If my trend continues while I work I think it's just a bunch of surface rust. I have quite a bit of work to do on the exterior.

My discipline? LOL. Well, if I have any, all it is doing is slowing me down. :D

I just got a flange/punch tool that I hope will help me weld the few spots I have here. I'm doing my best to document everything I do on my blog. It's ranking high in google searches right now which is good. However, when I ask google questions that I need answers to, it ends up sending me to my own blog, which doesn't have my answers! HA!

I sure do. I put porn in the tag section of every blog. ; )

Not really. But I have been getting a lot of SEO spam in my comments to see if they could crack in. But I'm much to diligent to let that happen. I need more guys on here to comment on it to keep me motivated. LOL

I am wondering if it is that way to channel any water to the drain vents?
