Interior Heat

[ajay]

On my 1963 impala, there is a ton of heat and subsequently engine fumes coming into the cabin through the firewall. What product are you guys using to keep that stuff out ? Is there a specific type of insulation ? I need to get in there into all the little tiny gaps etc.

I went with Second Skin, who is now a site sponsor http://www.secondskinaudio.com/ Give them a call and discuss what you want to do.

I have been using Second Skin products also. I have installed damplifier, Heatwave Pro (HP), and some UltraTouch heat insulator.

Take a look at this item available online only; from Home Depot. I ordered it and it arrived in 4 days, and you can't argue about the price.
UltraTouch 48 in. x 6 ft. Radiant Barrier ($18.96).

After gathering these items up I test fit my Dual Gate shifter and console and trimmed the carpet and HP to fit around or under it. I then went looking for some closed cell foam locally and found a vendor. Before going to their shop I stopped in at a local U-Pull it to get a few parts and see if I could scavenge some padding from a few late model wrecks. The first car I walked by was a 93 Lincoln Towncar. The rear seat was removed and I found that they have a 1/4 CCF padding under the entire rear seat all the way to the rear deck. It is bonded to a layer of mass load vinyl and I was able to pull the CCF/MLV pads from 4 other similar cars. I also had a wheel barrel full of other types of padding and trunk type carpet. Total cost out the door was under $21.00.

If your looking for a CCF MLV product check out the late model Lincolns at your local yard.
