Sactownog Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Decided to put some sound dampening material on the front floor boards of the 1933 Dodge, I have used this material on all my custom vehicles. does a good job of dampening the rattles and keeping out the unwanted outside road sound. its on the bottom removable floor board and the firewall floor board. I am not sure of the differrence yet in the car as I will be doing my test drive today after work, but for the most part, I look forward to doing the rest of the car from under driver seat back to under back seat. later plans are to remove body and clean frame then sand/spray with material that will dampen and keep frame from rusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sactownog Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 also, I put dampener on the battery access cover and drilled a hole in the top so I could put my quick disconnect trickle charger plug through and more easily charge my car while in garage.

JACK M Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That will make a huge difference. I put that stuff on the floor of my 48 Chrysler coupe. Also did the ceiling and inside of the doors. WAAYYY QUIET now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Nice job. I have put a similar stuff in the victory and it’s pretty nice. I also did in behind and under the rear seat. I think it absorbs quite a bit of noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdome Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Details please. What brand? What's the cost? Where purchased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sactownog Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 the roll is from Home Depot, it looks like this and can be found in the Roofing material area. it has a silver side and a peel and stick side. I use a knife to cut pieces to length needed. It cost about $15 a roll. it takes about 3-4 rolls to cover the complete inside of a vehicle. it is thicker and cheaper than dynamat. I have used it in many vehicles with loud stereo's and it consistantly proves itself to be a great sound deadner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpage Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That material is actually a window and door sealing tape, but if it works! Use a lot of it in construction but haven't thought of it for this purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The Dynamat in the catalogues is pretty expensive. I got lucky and found a brand new large roll at a garage sale for a REAL GOOD price. Its good to know about the Home Depot stuff. How wide and how long is the roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a lot of it in construction but haven't thought of it for this purpose. yes yes yes, you are right sir, I was trying to figure out what it was for exactly. but I found it after doing research for DYNAMAT on stereo dampener and when I found out that DYNAMAT buys the same style material but was MM thinner, I tried this stuff and it works great. the roll is about 6-8" wide and as long as you want it to be.

Spinneyhill Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Dynamat probably has a thicker layer of lead in it or more lead impregnated in it. Lead is sonically dense so attenuates sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sactownog Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 this is the material I have used to dampen vehicles, the material is thicker than Dynamat. its a great product for sound dampner in vehicles. after I road tested the car Saturday morning, it was much quieter and floor vibrations were also a lot less than before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
