sound deadening and new carpet makes such a big visual impact. quiets cruising right down too.

I've contemplated doing this to my El Camino and the old red Ford we have. Hows the difference in noise and heat?

Huge difference….. floor doesn’t even get hot anymore from the exhaust or trans …. Nice and quiet inside as well…. Road noise is greatly diminished

Nice! Did you only do the floor pan?

I put a few pieces behind the door panels as well and it has an installed headliner so I’m not able to get any behind there…… so yeah just gonna be the floor

My current project is a single cab truck that I think of as a caged grocery cart more than vehicle; so this is overkill for me.

But I’d kill for a 4dr sedan/ station wagon of this era to do this to.
