On the subject of sound deadening...

DynaMat Superlite is pretty good. Half the weight of the usual stuff and almost the same level of benefits, both noise and heat.

I just installed a new shift boot. My car never had one, and I can tell that it cut back a lot of road noise that I never had realized was there.

Interesting! Never thought anyone would want a Pantera that was quiet!

Just came home from Le Mans Classic, and I'm planning on doing the trip again in 2 years. Than, I will go in the Pantera, but with the noicelevel it makes I can't belive that my hearing will survive a 2800 mile roundtrip. But still, I wont put to much weight on the car.

i have used lizard skin heat shield on floors inner roof firewalls . here in arizona outside surface temp on roof of 180*+ w/ 50-70* inside temp differential, with more drop using aluminum coated bubble pack insulation[w/its added sound insulating +'s] added dynamat for its sound deadening . definately makes big difference! wade in the heat! ps have not done any testing for cold differential but surely must.

markIV/ 4280,

Does Lizard Skin allow you to put primer/paint over top of it, or do you paint first, then install the "skin"?

What has your experience been? If you have painted, did it adhere well?

Thanks,

Mark

their web site has the instructions as a download for the heat and sound skin. i have used it[heat] per instructions on the body over painted steel, on clean /etched aluminum and ss {exhaust shield [not on the pipes]}i hav e also used on underside of floor pans ,then shot a coat of paint to seal . also have put undercoating [body shutz ] over it. i usually put @ 1/16 '' thick total in three coats allowing to dry between coats [solar oven, here]otherwise takes 3-6 days to dry if applied to heavily.once dry /hard.. paint sticks good. i have coated both sides of engine firewall in my pantera inside floor/front footwell also inside of roof and new ss panels for engine side of firewall also using dynamat sound on inside of body,the floor and firewall inside also w a learjet insulating blanket material i purchased from one of their auctions here in town which i used in my model a hotrodon the floor and firewall .the aluminum coated bubble pack material is also a great$cheep$ heat barrier i places that dont have foot traffic[pop pop]just make sure you seal the edges down w tape or glue to prevent hot air from getting out from under it.
