72 duster Build progress

Well, today I figured since we had nice weather and I didnt have anything going on really...That i would start working on the duster.

I unbolted my seats and pulled them out, cleaned all the "crap" out of the interior , swept the floors , washed the floors, unbolted shifter and lined the hole that my shifter cable goes through with a split vacuum hose so that my cable won't chafe on the sharp edge of metal.

then I did a bunch of measuring and of my floor and ceiling and cut all my insulation material up to the shapes I wanted.

I used aluminum backed bubble wrap type stuff thats used for insulating siding on homes and attics and crawl spaces and stuff.

I then brushed contact cement on the floors and ceiling and all the insulation.

let it all tack up a bit and then stuck them all in place like a puzzle piece's and I then used an aluminum tape (comes on a roll like duct tape but is just a sticky backed roll of aluminum)..And I tapped all my seams and edges.

I only did on the floor pans where they will be "open" (meaning no seats or center console or anything over the metal to muffle the noise)......it came out really nice, pictures don't do it much justice.

All the materials set me back about $30.00 ,thats 25 ft x 2 ft insulation ,huge roll of aluminum tape and a quart can of contact cement........sure does beat the hell out of dropping hundreds on hush mat or dyomat and what not ( oh plus last month i spray undercoated the ceiling....so add another $5.00 for a total of $35.00 to do the job......not bad!)

now I have to paint the two little metal rear panels in the back at the bottom and retape the plastic wind barriers in place, run my speaker wires and my power seat wires and my carpet can go in and so can my headliner and then its all just little stuff that's left to do. (interior wise anyhow).
