Great looking car Stephen. I have a few questions about the Dynamat you put in your car.
1. You said it ran you about $300 for the cabin area (minus the roof). How much (in square feet or rolls or something like that) do you recommend for the cabin?
2. You also mentioned that it's good stuff if installed correctly. Do you have any pointers that I should be sure to follow while doing my application?
As I told you before... these builds are an exercise in patience.
Jeff.
For the dynamat I used two boxes of {10455 18" x 32" x 0.067" Thick Self-Adhesive Sound Deadener with Xtreme Bulk Pack, (Set of 9)} each box is 36 sqft. About 150 a box. At the time Amazon was by far the best deal. Although I have amazon prime so 2 day shipping is free. Don't bother with the thin tape I found no need for it. I did use it in a few places but that is just because I had it and felt like I should do something with it. Keep in mind this stuff is not light. I think the two boxes weighted around 50lb total (wish I would have put them on the scale but I forgot to) from all the research I did I think it will be worth it for the added heat shield and sound deadening. Get one of the rollers that is recommended on amazon. I used it a lot. The other thing I used was a tennis ball for pressing the dynamat into odd shaped places, which is most of the floor. I did use a heat gun but only in a few spots and that was on really cold days in the garage. I did warm up each sheet before installing by placing it in front of a small space heater. This was just warm not hot. I did make it nice and easy to form into all the crevices. Make sure you get the stuff down tight and get out all the air bubbles you can. I covered almost every inch putting the sheets right up against each other.
I recommend using gloves when working with the stuff the edges can be sharp. I never did get cut but the cloves I was using got trashed and I can tell they saved me more than once. Mechanix gloves would work great I used an old pair of thin motorcycle gloves that are very similar to the Mechanix’s.
