Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Thanks Ken, I knew I wouldn't get off easy.

I wouldn't worry about connecting the ribs to the roof, foil backed dynamat will slip between them (about 1/8", 3/16" thick), never fall off and kill any harmonic problems.

I use a rubber roller and a heat gun, or lay it outside on the concrete on a 80°+ day to help it form, and adhere better

Jerry - Great story, there are a few more around here I really miss. I think they leave us way to early.

I want to thank all of you for the warning on the caulking. I looked at what I had today and it isn't the 3M, It's a type that flexes so it allows the material to move and it is good to, I think, 600 degrees. I remember asking the guy about the heat because I'm going to have this thing powder coated in primer again when I get the roof done and I know they use about 400 degrees in the oven for drying.
The roof lays right on those bows I made there is no room for insulation or Velcro. That's why I made them so the roof is solid. I think when I apply the caulking it will squeeze out next to the ribs to hold it in place.
