Insulation sound deadener

73 Pony,

There are several forum members, bkdunha, and me, who went with the Lizard Skin application. Here is the thread with pictures of the Lizard skin sprayed on.

This is just another option to consider.

I did the Raamat under the jute-backed molded ACC cut-pile carpet in mine.  I had to replace floor pans, and didn't really care for the OE "loop-style" carpet, which is why I went with the cut-pile.

The Raamat (Dynamat, et al) is pretty easy to install.  Just peel, align, stick it down, and use a wall-paper seam roller to mash it flat.  Not only does it help with the sound resonance, it's also a thermal shield.  

Doing the roof made a huge difference, as Jeff mentioned - it went from a very tinny, resonating 'throng' with you tapped on the roof, to a much quieter dull 'thud' after applying the Raamat to the inside of the roof before re-installing the headliner.  I anticipate it'll help reflect some of the heat from the West Texas sun as well.

I used 3 35 sq. ft. kits to do mine - floor, firewall, roof, doors, quarters, and trunk.  The good thing is that it's significantly cheaper than Dynamat (probably 25-30% cheaper, as a matter of fact).

Hope that helps.

Is there any chance of the Dynamat getting hot and letting loose ?

I think this stuff is pretty heat resistant. I wire wheeled the entire inside of my Convertible, used rattle can etching primer and painted it black. Then I got 2 boxes of X-Mat from Eastwood (over 70 sf) and covered everything inside. Might buy another box to do wheel houses, trunk and inner 1/4 panels. I even put replacement sound deadening kit on top. Picture only shows about 75% being done.
