This is what I got, not in yet though...too much work lined up but one day... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290114419151&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019
Any of you do a headliner? Will I be able to use the jute there without interference to the bows or liner?
Here's a link to another thread where I posted pics of the finished product. It looks great - even better now that it has settled. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=33714&page=2 You should be able to use jute above the headliner. The factory insulation is held up by the headliner rods.
Randy, that ended up looking good...I hope mine settles that well... (Rando's pic below, not mine) I haven't had mine out in the sun since I installed it. I have only driven it twice since installation before my engine cratered. it is garaged-kept and semi-temperature controlled. Maybe next summer, when it is up and running again, it will settle some more...
Looks good guys! I will be using the jute in my headliner, only I will try glueing it. I think the bows may have held it up after the glue let loose from the heat Randy. Glueing it should dampen the sound better. May not last but... After reading the other post, I think I will use the instant foam to fill the rear quarters. I don't like it when nuts and bolts get lost down in there and get found by the next guy
Thanks! The factory insulation was also glued to the roof. The headliner rods were then put in. Yes, it seems like they are the rods are the only thing holding the insulation up when it's disassembled. Be careful using the instant foam anywhere on a car. I hear that stuff promotes holds condensation and causes rust problems.

I have been gluing jute to ALL inner surfaces. Behind the fenders, under the back seat, lining the trunk, etc. It really does quiet it down a bit. In fact, i can't even HEAR my engine now...
Your funny Scott Now the reality is setting in for me... I should be on my way back to Dallas to start/finish a couple of jobs I got going . Instead i'm here... It's cold out!
Oh - I forgot to mention that I had to add extra layers of insulation on top of the tunnel to get it to sit right. Otherwise there was too much carpet around the tunnel area, which caused it to wrinkle and look bad.
Mine too...still too much material. I added a second layer of jute under there to try to fill in some of the gap.
