Did a little "living with it" work tonight. As the rear window and trunk were eliminated, the openings in the tail were generating a lot of noise in the car. Tonight I added a vertical partition out of 1/4" plywood. Cut WAY down on the road noise.



View from the front seats. I would have done more, but my last can of expanding foam decided to not work... at all... except around the seal on top of the can, not through the tip. There is a hole cut in the left side( right side of the pic) for tail light wiring and the wall had to be installed in two pieces( there is a back strap down the center).

Tomorrow night... well, every time I try to plan something, it goes awry. Will update as I go.
