Sound proofing, capet and glue questions Options

[John90290]

I spent all this time getting the floor pan to bare metal, fixing rust area, removing seam sealer and POr15'ing the entire deck now it's time to add carpet and sound proofing and I feel I'm going to cover up all my hard work?

Should I use the dynamat type stuff and go with the original tar stuff?

If I add sound deading material behind the seat will the back pad fit?

Did everyone else just glue their carpet down? Getting the old stuff off was a bigger pain than cutting welding the rust patches.

Looking to see what you folks have done.

Thank!

I am in the process of installing sound deadening material and carpet on my car.
For sound deadening I used the Dynomat product covering maybe 50% of the surface. Even without the additional benefit of the carpet it made a tremendous difference. As for adhesive for the carpet, many here recommended a 3M product available at local auto parts stores. I am using an adhesive purchased from a carpet and upholstery store only because I have had good results with it and had leftover cans of it from a previous project. It is definitely worth while installing the sound deadening material.
Good luck with your project.
