Interior Insulation - Heat, Noise & Rust Prevention

[Shakey]

This past weekend we finally got around to spraying the Lizard Skin  (http://www.lizardskin.com/).  This product will help with the heat and noise in the interior as well as help with rust prevention.  We've discussed this product here a few months back.

Prior to spraying, a lot of preparation was required as we removed all of the glass, taped up all of the holes in the firewall and floor and the whole car had to be covered in case there was some overspray.  I had already taken the dash out for refinishing which made it much easier to spray the firewall.  To ensure that the product adhered well, we sprayed oxide primer throughout the interior.

Things went well and I am quite pleased with the end results, well at least how it looks.  It'll be sometime before the car sees the road so I won't know until then just how well it holds up. 

This was a major step as now I'll be able to begin with the re-assembly process, just after I finish with the inside of the quarters and doors which I'll do with the rubberized undercoating.  I'm looking to paint my dash within the next few weeks and once that is installed I can then move forward with the other items such as the brake pedal, parking brake pedal, brake booster, fresh air vent box, heater box and the wiring harness.  All of these items have been restored and stashed, waiting to be installed.  Hopefully things will move quickly but....... 

Here are some photos for you and I'll be sure to post more progress photos as I go.   

As usual, a thanks to the members of this site who have helped with answers and guidance.

I am not sure you can do it but it might be easier to install the heater box B/4 the dash.

No, we were concerned about overspray.  I had the whole car covered in old sheets.  There was some spray that got away from us, onto the rocker sill panels but I just wiped it away with a wet (water) cloth.  There is pretty good control with the gun but you still need to be careful.

Thanks Mike!

How thick did you lay it down? My body shop guy suggested that we spray truck bedliner.Not sure if it would be too thick or not.

NHCharger had his sprayed with the bedliner material.

Brian, how's it working out?

Great. Since I got my car back from the bodyshop 13 months ago it has sat in the garage untouched due to lack of Charger funds. (See message in sig line below). But I'm happy to report No Rust   Sorry, couldn't resist being a wiseass. Don my bodyshop guy has done that to a number of older cars he has restored and the customers are very happy with the results.
On a positive note my accountant just informed me I'm getting a sizable refund from the tax man this year (for a change). I'll be ordering the rest of the parts I need to get the 71 back together.

Here's two pics of my floor/trunk area.

That's Geoff and Todd Bodine. I've been contemplating removing Todd's name since he started racing Toyota's. Although he is a Craftman's Truck Champion.

Larry, don't worry, by the time I get the trunk mat back in, the spare and the 1/4" Launan side panels that I use to protect the quarters from anything sliding into them you'll never see the black. The luanan is painted hemi orange if that makes you feel any better.

Yes, I spent countless hours and thousands of dollars designing these two pieces of wood to keep the paint dab crowd from freaking out
