As you'll see in the attached photos, I installed DynaMat through out, followed by double sided foil backed fiber/wool insulation. I only install the fiber insulation on the trans tunnel forward of the gear shift and the foot wells. Carpet went it very well, along with the door panels. The 5-point seat belts went in just fine followed by the seats being bolted directly to the floor. I used a 2x4 painted flat black under the front part of the seat to give a nice rear tilt to them. The red button on the gear shift knob is to the front brake line lock. I also installed 4 speakers, 1 each foot well and 2 on the rear wall. Painted them flat black to help hide them. All components are in the trunk. I installed a Secret Audio system with iPod connect, USB, SAT and AM/FM. All antennas (SAT/REMOTE/AM/FM are also in the trunk.

A while back, I bought a foot box air vent kit from www.cobraearl.com/products/ and as one of my winter project, decided to get it installed. I didn't use all the parts, but the kit had everything I needed. You probably could save some $$s and source the parts yourself, but I went the easy way. The 12v air blowers are boat engine compartment types. I used 3M panel bonding epoxy to attached the front ducts to fiberglass. To hold the ducts in place, I first took some safety wire and glued to the fiberglass using Weld epoxy. This allowed me to "safety wire" the ducts in place then apply the 3M epoxy using a wide wood popcycle stick. It all came out pretty good. Since my ducts had two attachment ports, I used the extra flex hose to direct the air to the disc brake rotors.

Looks like you missed a spot with that black 3M goo, Mark !


Actually, it looks like it came together quite well. I like your idea of ducting to the brake discs on the spare inlet .

You didn't mention how it all works... any testing yet? What do you think? Keep us posted.

Thanks Paul.... won't know really how well it works until the Florida heat hits...... but I can say this..... When I switch the fan on, it blows with considerable force.... so it should be better than nothing. The foot box attachment has a sliding door to regulate the amount of air from off to the full 3" dia. of the opening. Also, with the scopes up front with the car moving, I wouldn't think fans would be needed.

Regarding the 3M goop mess..... it's part mess and part on purpose (mostly mess). The mess comes as you try to spread this stuff, it's thick, but continues to run for an hour or so. Each time I redistributed, the "mess" gets worst. Having said that.... I did spread the epoxy wide on the fender surface area to help ensure it stays put, as I didn't remove the undercoating or paint to the bare fiberglass. The good news is..... Other than the picture, most will never know!
