Some good progress was made over the last week or so. After getting
the car back from the strip shop, I had the fun job of getting media out
of every possible crevice and hideaway. A ton of blowing and vacuuming
and it was finally clean. A coat of self-etching primer was next.
After a bit of looking and research, I decided to use a product called
Quiet Car for insulation. It is from a company called Quiet Solutions
and it is a visteo elastic polymer (whatever that means). It goes on
with a spray gun I purchased from them as well. It comes in 1 or 5
gallon cans and is the consistency of elmer's glue or maybe a bit
thicker. I used 2 1/2 gallons covering the inner front fender area,
cockpit, trunk and doors. There is a noticeable difference in sound and
feel after it cures over sevaral days. I don't plan on using anything
else such as adhesive mats, etc. Finally, I cut out the front rocker
caps and fabbed some replacements. Thanks to the guys who have posted
this fix on the web. Sorry for being longwinded. Check out pics at
