Redoing a 74 conversion that could be street and/or track but for eventual sale.(i.e so its not really for me)
I am trying to decide if I want/need to replace floor tar. I have gotten both sides of this. One renowned restorer says it is a rust magnet......another says sound deadening is worthwhile. I am kind of falling in behind sound deadening although that is sales literature copy. How about a bit of guidance on this. Feel these cars are noisy enough without removing the tar insulation. What say ya'll ?? THX TOT |

yes, its a rust trap, that is why you should remove it, treat teh rust, then install some modern Dynamat or Fatmat. modern sound deadening material seems to be at least twise as good as teh old stuff. you will be amazed at how silent your 914 will feel. dont forget to seal up that back window.
