In my van...I have no door panels or headliner.

Its the way the vehicle came.

Am I allowed to do any sound deadener in this vehicle?

no...i mean the vehicle has NO HEADLINER from factory. And door panels don't really have a panel!

-

total metal doors, no panel covering them

and the headliner doesn't have any thing up there, its a chevy van not an astro but a cargo van

just to clarify. is this going to be your bass race vehicle? or is this going to be a SS vehicle?

I know you mentioned it somewhere before but I'm too lazy to look for that

take off the little panel that is on the door and do it all on the inside of the skins, inside the door.

Bass Race anything goes.

Dragt, it has to be under a panel, so panel the door and line the roof. Or leave it bare.

its bass race and i'll do ss 5+ at a few shows.


So it has to be under a panel and not be seen right?

Can I build my own door panels?

what if I get the doors sprayed with a bed liner material?

Like get the door sprayed in a dark blue with a black insert on the removable piece? The door won't be as strong as it would be if I built fiberglass panels and they will look just as good when finished.

In guessing thats legal since some competitors in the past had similar setups? The floor and roof would be done similar too

trust me man...I'd rather have a judge tell me yes or no then go by the rulebook. Ive been screwed by grey areas before and seen many more. The rulebook isnt black and white and doing something cosmetic also changed everything. A nice install goes a long way [Smile]

Thats why I want a judge to say yes or no on it. And right now I am on my iPhone and I dont feel like waiting on the rulebook to load

And just for the record I can think of 2 or 3 street competitors that have used a rubber undercoating and bed liner

a line x or rhino liner type product.

People put them in the bed of trucks to protect the paint and finish. Its a spray on product that isn't applied very thick at all
