Warm enough today I pulled the Datsun out into the drive and fired it up after months of hibernation.
Installed the headlight switch that I refurbished and fixed and got it working, installed new relays for the headlights and and set up the wiring for the fog lamps.
Too much snow and ice still to take it out on the road.

Finished helping Roadsterdude get his rear brakes sorted out - replaced the driver side wheel cylinder and replaced the shoes. We went for a short shakedown ride afterwards.

washed my wheels!

Test fitted some super duper rare 67 sun visors, thanks Raul!

Started installing the sound deadening panels to the interior of the cabin.
The product I'm using is a 25%/75% by weight, PVC/Barium powder sheet 660 x 330 x 2.3mm.

I only had 4 sheets initially so here is the area they covered.

It was soft enough to force it down into the profile of the panels giving a nice continuous coverage.

I estimate that I will require approx. 2.5 SqM to line the cabin floor.

Hopefully, the remaining 8 panels I ordered will be available tomorrow and I'll be able to complete the job.

That looks good!! Is it a glue down? What's the name of the product?
Thanks
Keith

It's not self adhesive but that's OK with me.
I just sprayed a hint of contact adhesive on the fabriic side and the cabin panels.
It ain't going to float away!

It's called Heavy Duty Sound Barrier Damping Material.

Are you sure you didn't get it down to send to me?

Only if you'll finish it and send it back! Nah, on second thought I don't want to miss out on the rest of the fun

that is sexy! I like the shade of blue treatment. Do you have a build thread?

Thanks Alvin, I have a ton of pics I've taken over the last three winters that I've been working on it. I never started a thread because I didn't know how to post pics. Maybe sometime I'll put something together. Mike

Maybe sometime? Sounds as if the odds are not in OUR favor

Nice work by the way!

It is clear that I don't have enough sheets, need another 4 perhaps
