Looks nice!!
I've become a fan of the newer sound insulation. It's lighter and seems more effective. I did my interior and didn't think about the engine side. May have to do that next. I used Fat Mat, it's like Dynamat, and less $$. Attached image(s)

blitZ - looks great. How effective has the insulation been on the inside? I was going to do that next.
BTW - I like the color of your teener! T |

Pardon the (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif)
I didn't do a decibel test or anything. I did drive with the top on for the first time last week, since I got it and it's fairly quiet considering I'm missing a few seals. That's actually blue primer, hopefully get a coat of Anacona Blue this spring. |

BlitZ,
Did the backpad fit okay with the Fat-mat in place? Did you put the Fat-mat over the original tar-mat? I don't know if all years were the same, but my 76 has a tar like mat, about 1/8" to 3/16" thick, attached to the firewall under the backpad. |

I removed the original tar mat, all 50lbs of it. The newer materials are much thinner, 1/4 inch or less. Had no problem getting the backpad reinstalled.

Its close; not sure if its exact or just showing its age but it definately has at least one repaint. Looks good from 20 feet.

I received a PM asking where I got the sound deadener, thought I would share with the masses. They have a deal where you get 36 sq ft for $50, which is cheapest I have seen.

Did any of you happen to use the sound deadener material inside the doors? PO put speakers in the door panels so I figure it'll cut down on the some of the rattling/buzzing.

I did not. By removing the speakers from my doors, adding new weather strip seals, new door panels, and tightening the screws on the door hardware my rattles are gone.
I guess it would have been cheaper to do the insulation but not as thorough. T |

I haven't as of yet, but I may. Had quite a bit of material left over. I'm going to replace my brokey inside door handles and replace the missing vapor barrier. Probably be a good time to do it.
