Reid and list,
the type of insulation you described for lining your trans.
tunnel... is it the same as the rolls of insulation sold in 3' x 4' sheets by
Vicky Brit, Moss, etc. for around $20 (one brand name is "Dynamat", I think.) I
ask 'cuz carpet and a form of insulation for sound and heat are coming up soon
on the restoration agenda. If anyone out there has a suggestion for the best
insulation for my use, please chime in .
TIA, Dean Martz ('63 Spit4)
