it is ensolite foam.  You can go to www.raamaudio.com and see what it is.

how did that stuff work out for you? i noticed its 1/8 inches thick. did it make your carpet too thick to put panels back ?

It woks pretty good.  I also used it to layer over all the parts that are behind the dash.

looking good. I also have a silverado, how long did it take you to strip down the cab and dynamat it?




Posted By: xtremekustomz

It probably took about 10 minutes to strip it down.  After that it took around 4-5 hours to do the rest of the deadening and put it back together.  It is Raamat by the way.  I would HIGHLY recommend buying that instead of Dynamat

Nice work. Ive been thinking on a custom dash in my car and its nice to see how you did it.

Will that dash be removable?

Yes, the dash is completely removeable.  I've got everything ready for paint except for the amp rack and I HAVE to be done with it by next weekend so I can start on the body work on the truck and get it ready for paint.  I got my new 22's last week and my beltech lowering kit.  Still gotta order my katzkin leather next week.  I will hopefully have some new pictures up soon.

you have the only pics of a making of fiber glass dash i can find. just like to thank you for that. in a few months id like to make my own custom dash. can you run me by the steps of the frame work?

Strip down obviously. Then you make a Frame out of MDF. Do you mount parts of that MDF frame to where the original dash mounted? Then streatch /staple your cloth and apply resin?

The plastic around the shifter goes back on.  I'm ready to be done to tell you the truth.  I'm done with all the glassing and all the interior stuff.  Well not done with it.  I've still got to paint it and get my new carpet and leather put in.  I just got through with all the body work on the truck today and will be ready to paint it all soon.  Waiting on a paint booth to be finished up so it may take a little while longer unless I can talk someone else into letting me use theirs.

The aperiodic vent is a cool addition to your kick panels. I have been telling people for years how damaging a high Q factor can be to a kick panel enclosure but until now I have never seen anyone besides myself consider and do anything about it. Good job!
