lol, yeah im go'n for quiet, as if you cant tell... anyways Ebay is my new lord and master lol, i managed to spend about 85 bucks for each bulk pack (retail around 200?), so 85 x 3 = 255. i went a little over weight wise, but i took around 40#s of sound deading out before the dynamat, pluss i did some other modifications. even with the chassis bracing and the extra dynamat im still under stock weight. i also used spray stuff for the harder to reach places, like inside the door pannles and crevices.

anybody know anything about sound traveling through metal tho? i mean i left some stuff unfinished because it looked almost frame like, not just a piece of thin vibrating sheet metal. im thinking what to do with my last sheet.

After seeing the commercial for the F-150...I was wondering if you could fill the voids with something like that Great Stuff foam? Not sure how flamamble it is though once "set". That could help with the A-B and C pilar areas perhaps.

I wondered about great stuff too...it is probably the same stuff that F150s and luxury cars all have. If you can use it in an attic, odds are its fire retardant enough for going inside the A-pillars.

yeah, i was thinking liquid stuff. iv seen cans of liquid sound deadener, but for the price, it dosnt cover much, and its realy more like under coating. im gonna have to look into that foam stuff now. thanks :D

Just be carefull when using expanding foam. I've seen some pics of people body panels warped afterwards, mainly trunk lids.

if you used spray foam it does work but i highly reccomend using minimal expansion... it will definitely bend your panels.... i know first hand i did it on a friends car..... but what a difference in sound!!

I had to do a lot of backseat/firewall wiring on one of my old Bugs. The previous owner had filled rear quarter panels full of Great Stuff (probably to support the bondo covering a foot-long rust hole). It was an outrageous pain in the ass to try to work around, or even work with it. He had filled every gap or space between the sheetmetal. Needless to say I was cursing him the entire night. Might be something to think about as far as the long term effect of filling spaces with expanding foam.
