I did the interior of my 75 Sport including all the side cavities. I used a product called Peel & Seal on the firewall floors and trunk and two sided foil bubble insulation in the doors and rear quarter cavities. Nice flexible product to work with. Conforms well to contours and sticks like crazy. The doors got a spray of undercoating and while still sticky I pressed in the two sided insulation.

How much will that add to the weight of the car?
The Peel & Seal weights 4 lbs per roll and it took 6 rolls to do the dart so 24 lbs. The foil faced bubble wrap is so light a huge roll weights 1 1/2 lbs. The Peel & Seal is .040 thick.

In other words, the difference between a quarter tank and a half a tank. Well worth it. Is it butyl or asphalt? There are plenty of horror stories about Eastwoods product melting and falling off, oozing etc.

That bubble wrap stuff is what they use inside heat and AC ducting for insulation.
It's killer insulator for it's weight, but a little light on sound deadening.
Still it's WAY better than nothing for panel deadening, and you can demostrate that with a light slap on the panel (completely different sound than the metal only)
I think you are going to notice a big difference and be pretty happy with it.

Peel and seal is an asphalt product. It'll smell if tar or drip if it gets hot enough.

I did the floor pans of my Jeep with it a couple years ago. Not much smell, and it has never dripped. The floor of a car isn't likely to get any hotter than a roof in the sun. Foil tape the seams.

Where did you buy it ?

Peel & Seal is a cross-linked polymer modified rubberized asphalt. The flexible foil carrier allows less than <.01 permeability and if you tape seal the seams I can't see how anything could pass through it. It carries a class "A" fire rating. I bought mine at Lowes. It's available in widths from 3" to 36" although it's usually special order for anything other than the 6" or 36". Once you use the product I think you'll find it an excellent alternate. Dan
