Hello Nathan Thanks Wow! Thats a lot of videos..

Very timely video for me Mike. I have Dynaliner and Dynamat with a carpet kit for my '68 Alfa ready to install but have been hesitating, not having done it before. Thanks for the tips on temperature and the great foil template technique!

@@MikesRestorations I look forward to the next project with you Mike if you so choose. You are for sure on the homestretch your rewiring videos were made of gold thanks so much with your detailed explanations and exceptional gymnastic video skills, I know from experience that the two skills will fight one another when doing a project. I also am jealous of your work environment it looks very cool for the summer. I know when I was working and restoring my 911L I frequently lost traction with the build because of a poor work area. God Speed on the rest of the build.

Will press on Mark and keep also keep the videos coming.. Although I will admit that video production is not really my strong point.. Just using an iPhone with a terrible microphone and doing what I can to make progress on the car while keeping the series up to date. Each video takes approximately 6-8 hours of addition restoration time and editing.. I need to give up my day job for sure! Thanks for the positive encouragement!!

Hi Mike. Great videos. Your patience and attention to detail are remarkable. I'll bet you'd get thousands of additional subscribers if you switched that Sunbeam photo with one of the 67 Porsche.

Hello Dan Thanks=) You bring up a good point..The Tiger photo is a bit out dated for the channel at the moment. My intensions were to finish the Porsche and then refresh with a nice picture of the finished project. I will see if I can come up with a suitable temporary image until that time. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@MikesRestorations Don't get me wrong - the Tiger is a really nice car... but it isn't a Porsche. Like many other subscribers, I can't wait for the next instalment in your Porsche restoration series. You have tremendous skill and it is a pleasure to watch your progress on this project. Your explanations are clear. The visuals are very informative and I especially like the reference photos you often inject from the dismantling stage. You're a great 'teacher' and a natural story-teller, too. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers from Victoria BC, Canada.

Hi Dan Thank you for the compliment Im glad you are enjoying the channel No problem at all Dan I think your reasoning is right on target .. A good idea and we could definitely use an update and fresh look for the channel. The Tiger is a real beauty for sure but Porsche is quite the icon and also the project is beginning to look somewhat more refined...When I started this channel 3 years ago the 911 looked pretty bad.. Input is always welcome here and I think you have a fanatic idea Will work on it! Also New carpet video coming up for the weekend!

Nicely done! How about closed cell foam and perhaps some mass loaded vinyl on rear firewall?

Definitely can keep going with more insulation on top in those areas.. We did add some foam on the fire wall during the carpet installation

So I bought the xylene and just used a brush and bushed some on. It worked great. glue residue simply came up easy. What's the best way to use it? I thought maybe soaking a rag in it and letting it sit on the glue residue on the rear seats? How did you use it? Thanks.

Hello 9meister and welcome to the channel Thats a great suggestion! The dynamat really prefers to be cold rolled however to remove it a heat gun would be needed..extreme heat is its enemy

Mike, Excellent video and explanation. Can the dynamat and be applied before the exterior paint and headliner? My car will be painted in 3 months (paint shop schedule) and I am looking to keep going. The interior is complete with a new floor pan, rear seat area and parcel shelf all 2k epoxy primed and sealed. Also did you put Dynamat on the rear wheel arch before the Dynaliner?

@MikesRestorations

Hello Roger Shouldn't be a problem to keep going as long as they mask the interior when painting. You will still get fallout making its way into the cabin from the overspray even if they mask. However everything gets glued and covered up so its your call if you don't mind a little rough feeling on the dynamat. For the wheel arches I used 1/4 dynaliner foam but ended up scraping it back off because the panels wouldn't draw up tight enough. 1/8 foam would work best not the wheel arches. Good Luck!!

How much weight do you think you added to the car with the dynamat?

@MikesRestorations

Hello CanonCam Thats a great question! Would be a concern for the racing enthusiast but for turning comfort we'll work the added weight. Dynaliner almost zero weight..dynmat total..a good guess would be be between 10-15lbsmax..really not much for the added resonation dampening

Hi Mike- you mention in this video that you will cover the upholstery of the B pillar in a future video, but I've searched and can't find it? Also where did you do the upholstery on the upper front A pillar? Many thanks!

@mikekerker7466

Жыл бұрын

Mike- I bought the pillar upholstery kit from Stoddard's- it has the four rectangular vinyl pieces (A+B pillars) and a piece of foam to go under each. I still haven't found your pillar upholstery tutorial, but it looks like you glue the upper and lower edges under to make a neat edge- right? But not on the sides. B pillar goes from the door weatherstrip channel around to the quarter window flange? I have the A pillar pieces I took out to use as a pattern but I'll have to make templates for the B pillar. Is the foam cushion layer glued down or just floating between the pillar and the vinyl? Or maybe your 67 didn't have it and it was a "safety add-on" starting in 68? Thanks for the help!

@MikesRestorations

Жыл бұрын

Hello Mike, Its been quite awhile since working those areas but if my memory serves me..I think you might find some video content for the A pillars in the installing the dash video. On my car the original A&B did not have foam under the vinyl but that doesn't necessarily mean that the 66/67s didn't have it. These cars were hand built and things evolved as they were being built. I did fold over the top and bottom edges and glued the fold shut with contact before installing. There may be some video evidence of this also in the rear quarter panels and garnish rails video. I then contact cemented the pieces into place. if you use the foam I would use a light spray contact like super 77 on the foam to metal surface only. I would let the vinyl slip on top of the foam and glue the vinyl to the body edge. Could be difficult!! not much gluing surface there. One thing to look out for on the A pillars would be to make sure you have enough vinyl running down onto the corner of the dash board area. If it is cut to short you will see metal underdash of the body coming through. The a pillars should slide under the finished dashboard in the corners. Good Luck and Happy New Year!
