I have not had issues with it bulging in spots. It can compress down to the thickness of matchbook paper. On the flatter areas on the floor, I even doubled up the mat. I sanded, primed and top coated the interior roof metal, and then used a spray bomb contact adhesive. I seal the edges down...

That is the single sided stuff, but yes. I use that aluminum foil duct tape that has the removable wax paper backing to seal the seems and secure the mat to the car's interior. I custom cut and fit a dozen or more panels together to make one complete covering, much like a tailor does with...

I dynamated my 70's roof, and then put the double foil sided insulating blanket ( available at Speedway Motors or Aircraft Spruce) on top of that. I use use that aluminum, wax paper backed foil duct tape along the edges and any seams to hold it up there.I have a black perforated headliner, and...

True. it looks just like leather too. Good stuff.

I put Corbeau seats in my '68 Barracuda convertible using their mounts. I did have to modify the brackets slightly to lean them back a bit more, but it was quick and easy. I love them. Picture is from before I had the interior done professionally. Note to self, don't put leather seats in a...

How about this? Mopar A Body 67 Barracuda Dart Rallye Dash Overlay - WALNUT Vinyl on Aluminum Look Plastic Backing

Dynamat Extreme on sale from Amazon with free shipping has always been my choice. It's a good start to insulating the interior, but unless you add a double foil sided insulating blanket type material too, you are only doing half the job. I use that wax paper sided foil ducting tape to seal the...

On a somewhat related issue regarding trunk mats, I've noticed a long time ago that my trunk mats always seemed to have moisture condense under them, which can lead to rust. I quit using them unless I go to a car show.

Look online for audio forums and start reading up on things in your price range. Lots of good experience online along with things to avoid.

Like cars, the budget determines how good it can sound. I use my smart phone as the source and wifi an online music service like Tidal. The lowest quality sound they put out is CD quality. I do have a double DIN head unit to control everything, which feeds into a Zapco DSP-VI II processor then...

I have been using synthetic disc brake caliper grease on any parts that moves spin or slides on my cars with great success. It won't attack plastic or rubber, has PTFE, moly and graphite mixed in. It also has superior anti-washout, temperature range and persistence to traditional lubricants.

The way they insulate small airplanes and the way I have done two of my cars is to use a Dynamat type butyl self adhesive product to stop the panel from resonating (you don't have to cover the whole panel, just enough to stop the resonnation of the panel), and then they use a double foil sided...

I use my Android phone as the source to send uncompressed sound to my truck's stereo via a phone app called Tidal. I subscribe to their service for less than $10 a month. The sound quality is amazing as the Tidal music app streams uncompressed, full dynamic range versions of most music available...

I put leather-covered, high-back, 1 inch wider Corbeau's in my '68 convertible. I forget the model, but I'll attach before and after reupholster pictures. I knew leather requires extra care, especially in a convertible. Apparently, I was not up to the task as the leather dried out and shrunk a...

Someone just bypassed the Amp gauge by putting them on the same terminal. The bulkhead plug bypass is an equally important step in reducing the all too common electrical problem Mopars have. Its as simple as it gets. Oh, and be sure you disconnect the positive battery cable.

You are looking for this. Aluminized Heat and Noise Insulation Shield, Double Sided It is the most effective, lowest cost material that exceeds the performance of anything out there. Cut out the shapes you need, seal the seams with that aluminum duct tape with the peel-off wax paper backing...

You can get the Dynamat Extreme for about half the list price with free shipping on Amazon, or use the roofing tape(as long as you don't live in the lower southwest = heat) The double foil backed matting available from Speedway Motors is the second layer to install, and makes the greatest...

The butyl rubber products like Dynamat, Fatmat etc are good for dampening panel resonation(the panel resonates when your tap on it). It is marginal for heat rejection and ok for sound dampening. I use the Dynamat Extreme on my Mopars. The real trick to quiet down the interior is to use a foil...

In my '68, I was concerned with the lack of any head/neck support in case of a a collision from the rear. I went on-line and found US Racing Seats. They have a lot of options, but I went for the 1 inch wider Corbeau leather seats. They even carried the mounting brackets for my car. I did cut...

I bought the PG Classics stuff when they had one of their big sales including the dash bezel, lenses and glove box trim. That saved a bit of money, but restoring the instrument cluster is still an expensive proposition. I replaced my clock with a factory style tach, swapped in a 150 mph speedo...

Yup.

The chrome plating on the repo from PG Classics is not perfect, but you would have to be laying of the floor looking up to see the thin spot. Aside from that, if you catch it on sale, it is a decent piece for the money. I sent the one pictured back as the wood grain decal was also wrong. They...

If you can not disassemble it, I have used a small pointed chisel to make a series of pits in the ball before with great success. Don't get carried away.

My dash cap was a plastic cover that glued over the stock pad. I had to cut out and grind down the cracks that had split in the original dash, so the cap would lie flat. Do you have a cap or a replacement dash pad. The replacement pads are reasonable $ wise, but the glue on caps are even less...

Nice work!

That is the stuff, but they used to have the double sided version. I too have a water leak in my '68 from under the dash, and yes, fix that first. I ordered the wiper gasket kit from Schumacher, but it is available elsewhere too. I am also going to replace my front windshield gasket and...

Use "The Insulator" from Aircraft Spruce. Cut it to fit you car from the front windshield to the rear and up the sides as best you can. Then do the roof. Tape all the seams with that aluminum tape with the wax paper backing. Tape the edges down with the same tape. You may have to use a contact...

I was wondering the same thing earlier today. I figured I can mock one up using cardboard and tape, and then use that to make and weld it up using sheet metal. Once finished, I'll have my upholsterer wrap it in foam and leather or vinyl. I'm figuring I can make something that has a...

There are several sources out there including Classic Industries and Laysons.

Thanks for the tip on the ground Redfish. I ordered the '67 faced one from Year One last night because of the 30% off sale. The total came to $185.03 including shipping and insurance. The Discount Code was "meal".
