Sasquatch3153's backyard mechanic build

No truck stuff.......yet. working on my friend's 75 Torino today. Replacing the master cylinder because the original developed a leak so we figured might as well do that while the engine is out in case we have to replace brake lines. I wish new vehicles were this easy to work on. Also the piece of wood is there because we have a ratchet strap wrapped around it to hold the transmission in case anyone was wondering

 

I figured it was factory...

 

Not too bad for almost 50 years old

 

Not to sound antiquated, but they don't build like that anymore.
Believe me, i know. There is so much plastic in em these days it's amazing they ever repair any at all.

 

Right? It's sad honestly

 

What deadener did you use? Any suggestions for when I do the same?

 

I used Noico. Only suggestion I have is take your time. I kinda rushed it for some reason. It works ok. Been thinking about doing another layer to see if it would make a difference

 

I used noico as well. I definitely recommend 2 layers. One 80 mil layer and one 150 mil layer of foam. Makes a huge difference

 

What foam would you recommend? I'm finally gonna be putting in my rear molle panel and the foam I looked at seemed too thicc

Awesome. Gonna order that when I get home

 

Thanks! I took out the back seats for the corgi shelf and it's so damned loud on the highway if there isn't anything back there.

 

Good thing I'm deaf as shit so it's not too loud for me

 

I just turn my music up. I need to do the sound deadening though

 

Well what are you waiting for

 

I’ve got the goose gear seat delete in my truck. I’ve got a layer of 80 and 150 from the rear seats to the rear window. I also added a layer of 80 and 150 to the back side of the seat delete. Definitely dont need that many layers, but i was spending 8+ hours a day in my truck and hand a bunch of the stuff left so decided i might as well use it.

I’ve done all the doors as well.

 

For it to not be so damn cold when the wind blows

That's my plan. Tear the truck apart one bit at a time. Behind the rear molle pannell first, then maybe the floor (super easy) and then one door at a time.

Maybe the headliner...... Maybe...... One day......

 

I did the doors when i replaced the speakers. Back of cab when i pulled the seats and put in goose gear.

Should have done the headliner when the shop had it pulled out 3 times..

 

You'll be fine

 

Once you get your six vehicle garage up and running I will be
