Interesting approach using the bed liner. I like it!

I'll bet the sound deadening properties are really good as well. I'd like to see how it feels when it's done. I'd think it'll feel super solid and quiet.

Awesome!

I'd kinda wondered about using spray on bedliner type stuff as an undercoating....I figured one would have to mask off all the smaller holes for bolts and such...or could you take something and se or cut it out after spraying it on?

All I did was used regular tin foil. I rolled it into plugs and inserted them into all the holes and wrapped all the studs. It didn't take much to pull them back out.

I didn't like how the Boom mat looked so I resprayed the inside with more raptor and will use another product as a heat
barrier. I haven't been able to work on it much this last month. 12 hr days at work and stuff to do at the house. :disappoin

You used a higher grade of what I used. I used that lo-po advanced knockoff undercoating. It looks top notch!

Cant wait to see your bird in color.

You still more than welcome to come over for the warming. I'll update the other thread in a while.
