I built my car as an autoxer years ago and never installed carpet or sound deadener after the restoration.
Now as I age and have an opportunity to take a longer trip in the car I am looking for a little more "comfort" in the car. Question is how much will carpet and/or sound deadening improve the road noise? The back pad has been removed and there is sound deadener and felt covering the firewall currently. Curious as to what you all might have experienced or recommend. I am also thinking about dialing back the suspension setup for the long trip. |

What do you suggest for the roof? Mine has nothing at the moment, didn't really consider the added sound deadening it would provide. Mine is pretty quiet but I could always use more..

Something like this. I don’t recall my OE headliner having edge binding but this should be close. On my 2nd car it is missing and yet to be replaced but I’ll use this or just cut some Perlon. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/APBZ...eBoCu4MQAvD_BwE |
