In an effort to reduce the road and engine noise as well as the heat generated by the engine and exhaust system, we chose a sound and heat shield mat for the floors and firewall. This particular product is sold by Eastwood. I have used this product on several restorations and found it to perform very well.
There was a bit of surface rust on the the floors, especially on the driver's side.
I applied a coat of POR 15 to those areas to encapsulate the rust. POR 15 is also an excellent product available through Eastwood.
Tomorrow, I will complete the installation of the sound/heat mat on the floors and firewall. A different product will be used under the rear seat.
The end result will be a quieter, cooler interior.
Stay Tuned...
