Templates for Heat/Sound Mat
So, I did a thing today. I'm sure this has been well-documented on the forum and will prove to be helpful to absolutely no one (), but I came up with an idea today for templates for my Thermo-Tec mat. I just cut strips of cardboard from a discarded box, and ran them around the perimeter of a section, and taped them together. Boom, done. Took about 30 seconds to make each template, and the results were pretty solid. Rinse and repeat.

Got Corvettes out of my system, and now back after 18 years to build a MkIV.

that's a great idea for someone who's already installed their panels! I had the foresight to trace all the footbox aluminum panels out on all the cardboard boxes before installing them, and kept the cardboard templates for later use when I was ready for sound mat.

I wish I would've done that!

Hah! Happy to help you do yours when you're ready! I'll be asking for your help when it comes time to install the Coyote! I'll need plenty of 'smart hands' on deck to shove it in. It'll be a year or so.
