yeah, the bubble stuff. i was told by a body guy to use head liner adhesive to attach it to the floor pans and just lay the carpet and padding on top of it that way when i replace the pans at a later date, i can save the carpet and padding for reuse. he also said that the bubble stuff helps with road noise too. we will see but i dont know that you can do much with a vert.

You got to love the removable cowl on the 69/70. Wouldn't that be great on every year!

Congratulations on your marriage! Looks like you snagged a good one!

The car are the wife? just kidding. I blessed by God with a wonderful wife. she is tolerant of my toys but I alway keep her first priority. Besides, I dont know what she saw in me but I didnt want to take a chance on her coming to her senses.

I used the bubble stuff on my roof and firewall for heat purposes, but don't know how effective it would be for sound deadening. Either way, its practically weightless, so it's not going to have any bad effects.

Yes, 3M Headliner & Carpet adhesive is the best...

nabster, yes they are. if that is not the way they are supposed to be held on, then that is something else that will have to be corrected as time goes on. not my handy work.
