Re: insulation
Cannot tell you what it will be like to drive because I’m not that far along. I bought the Second Skin sound insulation. I sprayed all the areas before I put it down with Eastwood platinum rust encapsulator. It is an aluminum based rust, preventative, and encapsulating product that I’m hoping has some thermal protection and is super tough (there was no rest underneath visible, I had done all the fresh metal work and most of the floors and firewall are fresh plus some patch panels in cab and fenders). Main reason I went this route was to avoid any possibility of moisture underneath sound insulation. Every old vehicle, including my daily driver old Bronco leaks in the rain and gets water inside.I bought the little spray kit that Second Skin sells-worth every penny. Put it on in multiple coats and it was easy as long as you mask it off well. You can bang on the panels and there is no ring sound. Sprayed it inside the doors, also bottom of cab inside all four fenders as well.
I like the way it goes in every crack and crevice. It’s about 5 mm thick everywhere. I will also put jute or carpet padding down on the floors.
We will see!
