[Dangerous Doug]

I assembled my own ERA (implication: any rattles were my own fault)

I had a "clicking" noise coming from my front brakes. Turns out the Camaro calipers I was using have a "trick" to the brake pads. You need to put a small punch deformation on the pad metal where the pins contact so there is no slack. This fix is straight out of the GM repair manual for 70's Camaros. OR, you could do what I did and buy some Camaro SSBC brake calipers that kick ass. These are much better anyway. The Camaro brakes use one large piston so you have to push a LOT of fluid through. The SSBC brakes use two small pistons and you gain a nice, solid feel to the brakes.

I had a rattle from where the metal tunnel is near the down tubes in the interior. Used slotted rubber grommets on the down tubes with the tunnel slots in the grommet slot.

Minor "squeak" noise from the passenger side. Tightened the latch screw on the door. No squeaky no more.

Forget the radio: Drive fast and loud and the wind buffeting and exhaust noise will cover any rattles or squeaks.
