On that note I was wondering where you sourced your fuel tank straps and OE hardware? I had to buy a whole new tank and ditch the old straps and hardware as they were just to damage to reuse.
I bought them new from the local Honda dealership I work for.. AFH would have them too! if not on hand they'd be able to source them easily I'm sure

Since my last update my girl and I split up so I got my car and myself moved into my new duplex and have since started going back together with random stuff I have around the house.
Current Status
Trunk wiring is "complete" less wiring up the EDM rear fog light, have the side panels power washed in prep for dye, just need to cut out for the rear **** bar first
Leaving myself little love notes
Sound control in the rear quarter panel
Single layer of GT Mat (economically priced dynamat that Preston turned me on to)
HVAC stuff mocked up before I bleed the brake lines to ensure everything clears properly
Brand new harnesses going in
Single layer of GT Mat on the roof
KW V3's installed as well as the rear bumper spats
ITR trans just needs some cleaning on the exterior
DC2 Koyorad with misc Spoon goodies
Need to polish the **** bar still... just liked this random corner of the bay

As far as sound deadening I have all that I want to put in. Lizard Skin on the floor and firewall, GT Mat where it will be and then the sound booth sound deadening in place in the quarters. Thanks though!

keep it up
x2.
Btw, I have never saw anyone putting that kind of sound deadening in the back of the car. How come you have one version at the rear, and other version at the doors?

Excellent build.
so the idea behind the sound deadening is the studio foam should help cut down on road vibration noise and just overall road noise that comes through the quarter panel area, the reason I didn't do that in the doors is it would potentially prevent the window from operating as it is supposed to. the studio sound deadening should help with interior audio quality also.... (we shall see haha)

Been making some progress on the coupe lately so I figured I'd make a small post before a little bigger one after this weekend with more updates on what's been happening. It seems like it's harder for me or I don't focus so much on taking pictures as I work on it anymore but that's probably more cause I get a wild hair up my *** and just start working... so a better update will be had in a few days.
Finally bled the brakes on the car to check for any leaks in the lines on the interior and to get it moved forward... this turned out to be a huge step that was blocking progress of the car so I'm really glad I got that done and can move ahead now
I started by removing the old EPT foam from the heater box and other under dash boxes
Remnants of the tape holding the old **** on
yes I used my kitchen cutting board to slice up the EPT foam lol
new foam applied to the heater box
Heater, AC and blower motor mocked in there, just a couple bolts to fasten it all down yet to be 100% in there
Started to mock up the underhood fusebox that will be now behind the glove box... errr... take place of the glove box essentially... more on that next post
crappy phone picture from the top where it's mounted where the airbag used to be
On to something fun (to me lol)... little bit of fresh air coming through my vents. Retrofitted an 01 CRV cabin air filter into my AC box. Brand new cage, seal and filter from Honda
Assembled
Ah ****... I knew (no I didn't) this wouldn't be straight and simple...
Had to cut a little half moon into the cage to get it to fit around that connection point on the AC lines
