To the store and back and it did make a difference. But I can still hear the pump whine but not as bad. I'll be taking it on the highway today so I should get a better idea. I only did the area between the frame rails as shown in the pic. They were "tinny sounding" when tapped and the mufflers are under it.
I tried to over kill mine I used lizard skin inside and out, then Dynamat then rubber
.
I may get some more for under rear seat.

Man you are going all out. She will be as quiet as a Bentley! Next time my carpet is out I am going to do the tunnel and footwell farther back.
Probably why my project is taking so long, I over do everything. I don't want to have to go back and redo something. I want the cabin to be quite & cool! Those TTIs & 3" exhaust could be noisy! Although I'm having thoughts of narrowing the Dana to take full advantage of the minitubs. But I told myself that can wait till it's on the road for a year to see how quick it is.

Yep, good course of action. I still have stuff I want to do...later. I think most of my issues are resolved. I do have a new rear bumper which is expected here tomorrow. Then the front, then a 6 Pack hood, then redo seats, door panels, carpet in red. That should be it for a while. Lol

I just unwrapped my AMD bumper and I am quite happy with it. Chrome is like a mirror and sub surface is perfect. I'll weigh it against the original to see what difference it is. Next month I'll order the front.

I got the bumper installed, no issues with fit. I weighed them both with a fish de-liar and the original is about 22 lbs and the AMD about 21.5 lbs. Decent chrome on the back, the corners are welded so probably not a good resto piece but they are still very nice.
I am hoping to find a front bumper this week with a decent black friday discount. I was really close to getting a repro tail panel for $210 off but I am not convinced $610 is worth it.

year one has 30% off today till midnight I think. Code DINNER. Tail panel for 610 is cheap! If it fits.

Thanks, but of course the bumpers are exempt from any discounts from them. I have had a rear panel emblem on order from them for 3 weeks...never like ordering from them.
Yeah I got a post card on clips I've had ordered for months, ready to cancel. Do you have the emblem you ordered or just want a nicer one?

I have no emblem. Do you have a driver grade rear GTX emblem that you would be willing to part with? I would love to call and cancel my order with year one and part ways for good lol.
I'll pm you. I think I do.

Not a fan either. Ordered a tach that was supposed to 6 weeks but took over 3 months and came broken. They were good about it and replaced it free but took another few months. Had to chase them for updates.

Happy Thanksgiving! !
I had my thanksgiving dinner a couple days ago because I work today. But I did have time to install my AMD front bumper. Looks great, and made my old one look even cruddier in comparison. I had to tweak a couple brackets but it fits perfect.

I ordered an AEM wideband O2 sensor for the car to better tune the carb. Got it for $156 + $10 priority shipping through a black friday sale.
And I didn't get a picture but I had 5 chickens hanging out on the X at the farm my horse is stabled. I got a chuckle out of it, Jim probably would have fainted were it his car.

A couple more pieces to the puzzle. Got a rear emblem, thanks Tim! and I found a lower dash trim piece. I was missing mine and this piece was $12 shipped so it will do for now until a nicer one turns up. Cleaned, glued the crack, painted the chrome strip and installed.

What does that screw on the face of the lower dash side trim plate go into? Mine was missing some stuff. I see where the bottom screw goes but there's nothing behind the top one/s. I broke down and bought a new set off ebay the other day.

It goes right into the metal dash. If your hole is wallered out you can use a sheetmetal nut on the back.

As you can see in my pic there is no hole because there is no metal. In the pic I'm holding the passenger side trim plate to the right 1" from where it goes. My car had a/c vents there before so I'm assuming something is missing for these to screw to. There may also be a difference since mine is a charger rallye dash and frame.
