Assume that you are building a race car then?

If you are you better post pictures of the interior, 5 point harness, 8 point+ cage, and all alumnium back and doors. If only I had the money and another fox I could rip into

Reason I ask,....A full alum interior will be a loud, rattling, solar oven.

Dynamat the backside of the panels, and the noise will be cut down quite a bit. I used aluminum panels in my '95 for a while, and they were much more solid and quiet than the stock plastic ones. Granted that is SN95 panels, vs the fox ones, but they were Scott Rod panels and were top notch quality.

Why in the world would anyone (in their right mind) put heavy-assed Dynamat on a panel intended to be a lightweight replacement?

I keep wondering, where the hell are all of the 200 dollar foxbody frames and ish, apparently you got one-___- everyone on craigslist thinks they have gold because they own an entire uncrashed frame with little rust, and wheels. 2000 obo is crap. I'm thinking. My car is worth like 4 grand and actually runs.

Then below there OBO part they're like, I wont go lower than 1800, wth is 'or best offer' about that.

Also for the sound you could try and find lightweight mats, course dynomats wouldn't matter if you said you still want a street look and your interior can't be rattling on the street. It'd add weight sure, but it's not like he's gutting the interior and every pound counts. .02

I put mine on to get rid of the rattling stock panels. The dynamat didnt add THAT much weight, you crazy old man.
