Floor Mat
For those of you running rubber factory style floor mats,
A) Did you install sound deadener under it?In the past, on cars I have restored / refurbished, I have always used the factory sound deadener pre-cut panels like shown below. It is made from heavy tar like material. Last edited by lakeroadster; 12-11-2010 at 11:18 AM. |

Re: Floor Mat
Here's a thread showing the quality of the mat in my truck. I have no padding under the mat, I didn't want to muffle the sound of the 4 speed transmission. The downside of no padding is eventually any bolt heads on the floor will imprint or poke through the mat.

Re: Floor Mat
My only regret is I bought a new Richmond/Super T10 instead of an M22 rock crusher. They are so much louder!

Re: Floor Mat
Geez, with the combination of tranny whine and old whistling vent windows, you must be in heaven! LOL
My all orig, unrestored 66 has 1/8 inch white foam very similar to what is used in shipping/packing nowadays. Of course Dynamat and the like is unbeatable, except the cost. |

Re: Floor Mat
I bought my first rubber mat from Classic Parts.
It was nothing like the original. The second one I bought, came from Tim Christian. It's an exact copy of my '70 rubber mat. Tim's old company is now "Top Banana" here on the board.
