Finally getting to the interior, stoked. Laid down some kilamat and the subfloor. Just need to bolt her in. I also picked up some rear doors here in San Diego with some sweet pop out windows in them.

UPDATE: I got some doors with pop-outs for a steal, and i got to working on the interior finally. Recovered the dash with some vinyl, looks good from a few feet away haha. With the floor done i'm moving onto the walls, once i decide how i want to insulate the thing. it's Foam board vs that bubble wrap insulation. Any one have any input between the two?

Here are some photos of the doors and before and after of the dash.

Looks really good on that dashboard. For wall insulation I just did some foil sound deadening and then wood panels on the ribs.

The foil insulation is designed to work with an air gap. Read the instructions carefuly. If you use foil, put it on the back of whatever you use to build the walls. If you use foam board, just cut it and shove it into the gap created by the wall ribs.

Neither the foil nor the foam insulation does much for noise. You need some kind fo mass damping material applied to the walls and floor to deaden sound. fatmat etc... just find something close to you and in your buget. Apply the mass damping material as per the instructios that come with the material then build your walls and insulate according to whichever style of insulation you choose.

Been a while since i've updated this thread. But i got some work done this weekend. I picked up some new rear doors with pop-outs and threw those on, and i built out the ceiling with some cedar planks and the wall. Starting to come together and feel like something, finally. I also covered some corners for the speakers in the back. Check it out!
