    I will be curious to see how well the deadner works on keeping out the noise and heat. Let us know.

    It works

    In addition to spraying Rhino-Liner in the floorpans during the paint resto, I used the aluminum backed padded/insulation. I put it behind the rear seat panels and around the rear wheel wells, even under the rear seat where possible. It looks like what Frank has.

    I can tell a difference around the tranny tunnel in heat and I don't get the road noise that I used to.

    Frank-
    Was it the Rhino-Liner that lifter or the POR-15?
    Mine was as tough as nails. I had it in there-no carpet for about 3 yrs.
    after the paint work. No signs of lifting. Maybe it was 'cured'
    in along with the paint in the oven???

    I would say the noise is not quite half what it was prior to the padding/liner.
    Heat? Quite a bit less. I still get heat at the shifter, but the tranny hump,
    not much.

    I sell the padded insulation. There is a link to it in my signature. It is good stuff and I sell it cheaper than what JC Whitney sells for the same thing. Put it in my Maverick months ago.
