When are you going to rhino line the complete car?
Onno Könemann

Haha...yea know i was thinking about that the other day... im still planing on doing that with the roll cage bar and the sills...not sure about the monza gas cap... if not ill have powder coated. My hard top still looks like new and just stands out... along with tthe front spoiler

So now the entire engine bay is rhino linned that should help with the heat and noise...i think if i was doing another restro... id do the entire car except for the pretty outside


Im not sure which i like better rhino linner or powder coat.. there both cool products.... im certianly a fan of both

C'mon Deb... you know you're just envious. ;)

Hey deb,
Actually there are 14 gauges in all... but some do double and tripple duty.... so i can monitor and measure I think like 24 diffearnt funtions in all at one time....and that dosnt even count what i can and measure with the smartphone.

Yeah ...seriously ! Hahaha

Its all for fun im not sure how to inturpert half the measurements...but at least ill know what they are hahaha....like 007 james bonds car.. the austin cooper DBS-5.... i think it has 9 but one is a 1964 GPS device.. so not sure that counts

Prop,

Did you check to see if the rhino liner will take the heat under the hood? Did you check the before and after weight of the hood? Can you tell if it does a good job of sound deadening? It certainly looks nice.

I know you have taken a lot of flak for all the gauges, but I for one, think they are pretty cool. Properly used, they should allow you to do good tuning.

Hey chuck

Its not to extra heavy...maybe a couple of extra pounds.... the rhino is good to around 300 degrees ... the rhino linner i installed in the engine bay really did a nice job on my solo run on new years eve... so it really should well when i get the bonnet attached and the fender heat vents installed.

Once i get it up and running ill get some more pics and provide more details as they come appearant.

One thing the sprayer did do was around the contact areas for the sissor hing was he applied it lighter at those spots so as not to make the bonnet stick up out of alignment.

Prop you have 14 gauges while im cruising around with 1 functioning gauge (oil pressure, the only terribly important one).

I think its time to stop working so much and start WORKING on the car hahaha.

I do like the excessive gauges, now you just need the t-handle from that insane car and youre set for cockpit shots for the new top gun movie!
