VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Body - Sheet Metal, Paint & Wood Sound deadening material 37 coupe

Anybody know where I can get material close to what was used from the factory . It is on the floor and in the trunk, kinda like a thick fiber cardboard that is glued down. I do not want to use that silver high tech stuff everybody is selling even though it is probably better. Just does not fit this project.

What about a roofing felt? My 50 Chevy has some stuff that looked very similar to that in both thickness and color.

I had thought about that maybe gluing 2 sheets together to get the thickness then gluing that down. This stuff is pretty thick. The wife has a 68 Caprice Custom, Classic Muscle sells replacement matting just like what came from the factory I think it has tar on it. Had the seats out and got some on my hands and pants, gas for the hands and you can,t get it off of the pants.

Thanks The Honer

YUP WORKS GREAT, CUTS DOWN THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST WARMING UP THE METAL FLOOR. RIGHT CHOICE.

ONCE YOU HAVE THE CARPETS INSTALLED, WHO'S GOING TO KNOW, OTHER THAN YOU ???

I think you need to give this some more thought. Was there any sound deadener on the floors of 37 coupes? Are you confusing the deadener on the wirewall, doors, quarter panels, roof, with what you think should be on floors? Different materials were used on firewalls. Firewall Insulation Pads

I don't see any R value or sound deadener value in bonding less than ten layers of tar paper together. Have you checked out any materials used on putting a roof membrane on a flat roof?
