Thanks guys!
I have been working on the Comet, wasn't quite as ready for paint as I thought. Started getting things ready to jam, inside of doors, underside of trunk and hood. Was sanding inside of doors and noticed the 3 long slices/slits on the lower part. Outlined in red.
Didn't really see a reason for them. Also when you tapped the inside of the door it sounded pretty tinny. So I welded some steel rod into the slices and sealed with 8115. Made a huge difference when tapping on the metal, sounds a lot more solid.
One of the things top of my list during this build is I want the car to sound solid. So when you close the doors I want it to sound like my Tahoe, solid, not like a car from the sixties. After filling the slits I was looking at the three big openings in the door, and thought while I was at it I would make some plates to fill the openings. First made some "cheater strips"?? And welded those around the perimeter of the openings.
Then I cut some 16 gauge steel to make block off plates for the openings.
When all is done these will be installed with a silicone seal and screws to tighten the doors up and help quiet them some. The inside of the door skin will have Dynamat installed after doors are painted..
I did get the inside of the doors and underside of the trunk and hood sprayed. Tomorrow I will finish prepping the outside of doors, fenders and top of hood and trunk for paint. And hopefully get them sprayed Thursday.
Hard to believe Comet will finally be painted.
