The insulation was very eazy. So eazy that we (ACE) could do a Corvette saturday and hammer out 3 to 4 cars.

I reckon 2 folks could bang out the first car in 2 hours and get a rythem going to bang out the rest in 1.5 hours each.

The supplys needed would be

Frost king A/C duct wrap = $20

Reflextex foil bubble wrap = $20

Metal tape X2 = $10

Beer.....

my cars keys no longer roast in the center console so im happy.

I thought all that insulation was for exterior sound deadening. But it keeps the heat down too???? :eek

:huh why would your car keys roast in the center console? shouldn't they be in the ignition? :toetap

i could use a heat "deadener" as my right knee get's quite warm when driving - i bet this would also increase the efficiency of the A/C :yesnod

My garage door transmiter has an old set of keys attached to it. Im to lazy to take them off. The heat cooks the batterys and roasts my leg on any drive onver 60 min. I will know on SAT at Phills place how well it works.

Wow Chad your system looks great and pretty extensive. Your have given me some ideas reguarding the subwoofer portion. Did you buy the sub woofer box pre made or did you build it your self? I'll have to check it out at our next meet. Later Chad R
