Washed the SS for the first time today. As far as I know the paint has never seen a clay bar and it shows. The paint feels like sand paper in some places! Next wash I'm going to clay bar and buff the paint & wheels.

Here's the first "big project" for the Camaro. I decided to add sound deadening since I'm building strictly a show / cruise car this time around w/o any engine work like last time. It's not too much added weight (about 55LBS) and it's spread out evenly around the car so I'm not concerned about it. I did a lot of research about sound deadening and found Raamat to have some of the best results and yet still be very cost effective. Rick from Raamat couldn't have been more helpful and I got everything in 4 days!

Here's a couple shots of everything I got (2 rolls of BXT, 6 yards of Ensolite, 3 cans of glue) and I'll update this thread tomorrow with install pictures

Your car is coming together nicely. You did a great job on everything. You will enjoy your white SS as much as I do. It will definitely be easier to maintain than black. The rear is screaming for some fill ins. So far everything looks good.

Good choice on the sound deadening Steve. That's the same company I went with when I did my car.

I went with 3 rolls myself but then again I was putting down three layers in some areas.
