TomBo Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Posted August 23, 2008 I will have to start a new post with all those pix.heres a teaser Quote
MaryAnne Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Khee! Now that's the way a young Dukes fan's room should be done. Quote
TomBo Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Posted August 23, 2008 LOL thats just the begining like I said I will have to post a diff thread with the entire room Quote
TomBo Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 Dynomatted the roof & staretd the headliner! Quote
RogerDuke Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Looking good.....Hey TomBo, Is Dynomat something new? Quote
TomBo Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Posted August 30, 2008 Looking good.....Hey TomBo, Is Dynomat something new?Not really its been out long enough that other companies are trying to make it cheaper. It is a sound deadner & helps keep the highway road noise out & the stereo sound in. I went with the super sticky stuf for the roof cause I DONT wanna have to re-install the headliner.Grill comes in 2 days had it sent out to be completely redone. I am excited to get that back because that basically completes the outside of the car. Pic as usual WILL follow. Thanks guys & gals for following along it is a BLAST to say the least. MAYBE just MAYBE I will be able to attend a show with it b4 the season is too cold, guess we'll see?! Quote
RogerDuke Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 Okay TomBo I'm a little confused here. Why in the world would you want to keep the stereo sound in? When you're going down the road blasting your Waylon Jennings 8-track you want to open those windows up real wide so folks standing alongside the road putting up fence posts can enjoy it too. Quote

MAYBE just MAYBE I will be able to attend a show with it b4 the season is too cold, guess we'll see?!It will probably be a better inside sound to use that sound dampener. Was there any other kind that you could have used to maybe get more of the rumble or did you want that much sound proof? I would prefer to have it as sound proof as possible. Just that I am used to that in my everyday cars. That way you can roll down the windows and enjoy the day if want.What did you have to do to the grill? I can't wait to see I'm goneDarrell Quote
TomBo Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Posted August 31, 2008 1st off Roger LOL thats great stuff but as mentioned by Capt. I am more interested in keeping road noise out. If ya Get that cell call & roll up the win-der then bam you can hear great. I got the idea from a friend that did all but his roof in this stuff & it's GREAT on long rides you dont get beat up by the noise. Oh & they'll still hear Waylon when the windows go down!The grill is coming 9am tomm. There is a guy in DE. that owns a beautiful black 69 charger he is a bodyman by trade & he got into restoring plastics & also learned how to hammer & dolly out dings in the grill trim poieces & then polishes & paints everything. My whole frame & grill went to him so pix will be posted as soon as it arrives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
TomBo Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Posted August 31, 2008 He sent me some teaser pix but wants me to wait just like you guys to see the finished product... Looks good to me thats for sure! Quote
TomBo Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Posted September 1, 2008 Got lots done today & heres the outcome hope ya'll enjoy: Quote
Capt_Redneck Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Hot damn..That is one sweet looking car now. I didn't know that your grill need that much work. That is awesoem tha tyou found someone to do it. Judging from the pics , it looks fantastic. Was he expensive? Love the green charger in the background especially the red strip tires. Firestones? And also the 440 under the cover. You are making me wish I could spend my money on something like that instead of the house..I'm goneDarrell Quote
RogerDuke Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Sweet stuff Tombo....keep these great pictures coming...I did have trouble figuring out why those two fellers were taking a nap in front of your General though. If I was around a car like that I'd be too excited to sleep.Tell whoever has that Charger parked on the street that the General Lee got painted green on "Southern Comfurts" from season 2.Keep up the good work buddy.

TomBo Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Posted September 5, 2008 LOL nice ... I have no new pix yet but I was able to take the car for a 20 mile or so trek tonight & all went great. I have to fix turn signals & brake lights and oh yea add the dixie horn (killen me it aint in there yet) but other than that it ran great! Quote
