Bikeman - the entire floor was sprayed with undercoating

A great tip from this site, the roof repair sound deadening trick! Hood was lined, then the stock matting put in place (next set of pics)

Right at one year ago, I jumped in on a project vehicle and thought I'd share how things have been going.
The '09, a CL find, was pretty rough and smoked most of the 300 miles from pickup to new home.
New batteries, new Injection Pump and some wiring work and it was driveable. The body was...
