Nice job Andy, if you or anyone is interested there's an interesting article on shooting brakes at the following site.

I'm sure some people have heard of the product called 'Lizard Skin' which is a sound deadening product. I discovered that it is a latex paint with glass microspheres. After reading some threads on the process I decided to make my own with some leftover "oops" exterior paint from Lowes and microspheres purchased separately and mixed in. Sprayed with a undercoating gun. Very impressed with result:

Great video Andy, it really brings home the sound deadening factor. Thanks for posting, love to gawk at the great work
My floor pans have some minor rust, and I removed all the foam strips. After seeing this, this may be a better option than the foam strips, however, I feel heat insulation would be higher on my list with a product like Dynamat. I don't suppose the micro ***** help with heat insulation?
Any recommendations on rust converter vs rust remover products or brands? I think I recall you mention one of the Eastwood products in one of the earlier posts

Google OSPHO as good a rust converter as you can get and price wise averages around 20-25 dollars a gallon.

I would use the exterior paint with microspheres AND the foam strips.
Agree with above post, any product that removes rust is good, I don't like the converters. Krudkutter rust remover is the one I'm using. I think they (rust removers) are all phosphoric acid but just different concentrations.
I also like Rustoleum Rusty metal primer, its very resistant to chips because it doesn't get super hard like regular spray paint. I'm not sure how it would react under a top coat but on a floor pan it would be perfect. I used this after Krudkutter rust treatment.

Yeah, one of my side projects was the rectification of an elderly tool box and it's equally aged contents.
I removed the loose rust from the tin box. Applied "Naval Jelly", a rust "converter" primed with Rustoleum primer. "oiled" the box in the military version of WD 40. Imperfect, but looks good and probably more resistant to the rust monster.
Tools are getting freed and derusted and "oiled' in a somewhat similar way.
So far, so good.

Thanks! Some parts are turning out better than I could have hoped which makes it difficult to know when to stop trying for perfection.
More soon!!

Hatch glass installed and video with the most satisfying "thunk" when the hatch closes.

Close! Maybe not production but I'm thinking that this will sell (when I'm ready to sell) much better in the UK/Europe. So my plan is to advertise over there!
