Dynamat / Peal n Seal... yes or no

[1968FormulaS340]

If I wanted new car quiet I would drive a new car.

In all of my builds I have never waisted my time or money on sound deadening.

I find the stock noise reduction features used in these cars to be more than adequate.

Ear plugs are cheaper, don't mess with stock look and allow you to completley ignore your passengers if you so wish.

Ken- I see where that product, Low-E, is alum on both sides...
does it form to floorboards or do you have to use an adhesive?
Thanks

You have to use adhesive where you need it to stay.. I only used a spray adhesive at the bends.. and used a foil tape where it joined..
This product is extremely light...

I too have wrestled with this one.....

I'm going with FatMat Rattle Trap. Comes in a $2.20 per square foot. Not cheap by any means, but much more affordable than Dynamat. No Asphalt.

We'll see.........

Dynamat is extremely sticky.

Just be sure to install it on a hot day and you will have no trouble laying it down.

Cutting it with scizzors can be a daunting task so use a nice, sharp utility knife.

Like I said, if you use that little roller thingy it is much easier to lay it down and get it smashed onto the contours.

If you try to install it on a cold day it won't lay down or stick as nice as it will on a hot day.

Never followed up with this- but I ended up using Peal and Seal (can get @ Home Depot or Lowes) which is a roofing material.
Very happy with results- see my restore link #49:

Figured it to be the most cost effective and didnt have to worry about shipping charges. Was easy to install and forms very well to any area. Some people were worried about asphalt based product smell... but I have a vert and live in So Fla and experienced no issues. And I have left it out in the sun with top down. I did however put down a sound deadener on top and also had mass backing added on new carpet. Overkill? Maybe... but quiet and cool.
