I have a 36 Cabriolet undergoing restoration. What's the best way anybody has found to insulate the body against noise? Thanks! Larry Lange Puget Sound Regional Group

You can use Dynamat or there is a 1/4 inch closed cell foam with aluminum backing that you find at swap meets. Whatever you use make sure it does not absorb water. They do sell some insulation that is ground up fibers with a foil backing. It works O.K. as long as your car does not leak. Once it gets wet it is tough to dry out.

Eastwood make a very nice self-stick product. I used it before installing the headliner and panels and the difference was astounding or "a sounding"

What are we trying to do: Keep outside noises out of the interior or deaden the top , doors, etc to keep it from sounding like a barrel when the doors are closed?

As Tom suggests, be cautious about placing anything that is not waterproof inside doors. It will absorb the plentiful moisture that falls inside the doors from rain and washing, and will result in lots of rust. Most of the inside of the doors was coated with the same material as undercoating. It was used to reduce the "drumming" of the large metal panels. You can use the rubberized undercoating sold in rattle cans for the same purpose. Road noise is part of the old car "experience", anyway.
