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 |

Mine's all gone including the engine firewall stuff.
45 pounds lighter... that's a ~2 horsepower increase in a 2100lb car with 100hp. Headers and SuperTrapps... it's about the driving, not the radio. I keep ear plugs, suntan lotion, and an extra pair of sunglasses in the glove box for sensitive folks. Good manners demand it in the South (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
