John,

I used the plastic transmission cover and used J C Witney's version of
sound dampening material on the cover (for that matter under all my
carpet. I'm extremely pleased with the way the sound is dampened and the
interior of the car has a real solid sound.

Hi everybody,
           While replacing my interior, Ive decided to switch to the 
plastic transmission cover and was wondering if added sound deadening 
material was needed.  It just looks so much thinner than the fiberboard 
original. 
            Also, does anyone have experience with the Dynamat type 
products for reducing vibration related noise.  Don't get me wrong, I 
love the sounds the car makes, but vibrations and rattles kinda drive me

nuts.
             Third, this question is probably aimed at Fred Thomas.  Im 
just getting into powder coating and was wondering what silver to buy to

approximate the Valve cover, etc.  I have a number of blacks and clear 
coats, but was wondering what else I'll likely need for the car.




                                       Thanks in advance
