Mini Tech Session @ Texas Rally

wildcat66 · 03-31-2009, 12:04 PM

The mini tech session will be held in the parking lot of the hotel from 7 AM until 1-2 PM.
Monday for the early arrivals.
NO WORK WILL BE DONE ON THURSDAY

Mikey and Doug Allen will do the deed, and will welcome any help from fellow members.....

We'll keep it to main fans, radiators, mirrors, FatMatting for soundproofing, chrome part installation, etc. Basically all the work we can do without a floor jack
This thread has been modified to keep harmony in the families of the SSR Fanatics who are volunteering alot of their free time and maybe spreading themselves a little to thin

No Divorce lawyers will be needed

RUN ROD RUN · 03-31-2009, 12:28 PM

FatMatting for soundproofing sounds like something I need.

Tell me how much sq ft of that stuff I need to buy & bring with me, etc.

artsmart · 03-31-2009, 12:31 PM

see your pm's RRR

Doug Allen · 03-31-2009, 12:32 PM

I'll supply the FatMat, so don't worry about that.

It will be on a "first come, first served" basis until it's gone or we run out of time.

That could end up being a lot of FatMat by the time you get to the end of the list. I'll have to do that one of these days when the

is torn apart

I'll be up at 7 so let me know where the line starts.

MICKEYS · 03-31-2009, 03:20 PM

I've done a couple fatmats so I can help with that (as long as all the women are satisfied and my services aren't needed(ask Houtex's Judy))

That's 5 AM Pac time.....that's not like you Mr Retired SSR Owner.....

Doug Allen · 03-31-2009, 05:54 PM

For anybody that needs mirrors, radiators, fans, etc. that Mikey sells, please contact him directly, and SOON, so he can make sure he has what you need.

I'm pretty sure he's going to want to ship the parts to the hotel in advance, because neither he nor I will have the room to carry them with us.

Hey, anybody that has the gonads to pull apart an R like you have is OK in my book.....I am not worthy

Hope you remember how to put it all back together

Purple Penelope · 03-31-2009, 10:14 PM

If fatmat is anything like dynamat Xtreme it takes about 18sq ft to do both doors.

HarleyGuy · 04-01-2009, 10:11 AM

Never heard of this "Fat Mat" stuff before.
Does it really work?

I do like the "blinking" directional mirrors (I have them on my DuraMax).
I'll be there on Sunday so I guess I may as well bite the bullet and get in line behind Rebel on Moday morning

COORS2U · 04-01-2009, 10:22 AM

I'd like to get in line behind HarleyGuy for the FatMat stuff.

Doug Allen · 04-01-2009, 10:32 AM

I use FatMat because it's easy to install, stays in place and really works. It's similar to Dynamat, but is not as thick (FatMat is 50 Mil, Dynamat is .67 Mil).

It's easier to work, weighs less and is less than half the cost of Dynamat. I have it in all five of our R's.

If you want Dynamat or some other product, feel free to bring it with you.

If you're talking about two years ago @ Mike's garage, that was Focks's that you guys were dealing with. I remember that night as that when I first meet you, Focks ad Marty
