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. |

Installation was easy, holes all in the correct spot. Hopefully drive tomorrow and listen for reduced noise.
