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..

My car (faux GT) has almost zero sound insulation, but I did rework my roof panel a while back to try and reduce heat transfer inside. I used a product called Dynaliner: https://www.dynamat.com/products/dynaliner/ on the bare fiberglass, then purchased a precut headliner piece from 914Rubber: https://914rubber.com/oem914563321113-1-700-charcoal-1-2975 to finish it out. Can't really comment on whether the heat insulation reduced the sound as the rest of the car is so loud at speed anyway; but the thermal reduction worked a treat ;-) - Tony |
