There is a detailed "manual" that Dale has created for you to view (in regards to this section). This instruction manual is on how he built his IFG Phantom Roadster. (click on his logo to visit his web site)

The following information (in the Red outline) is from the Diablo Support Forum.

Just passing on an idea I had when doing the carpet. I made templates using poly to get pretty close to what the carpet patterns needed to be. This was much easier than working with the actual carpet. I also found some molding I was able to hot glue on to the edge of the carpet where there was a seam. Looking back I wish I'd thought of hot glue earlier in the process. It would have worked great to adhear brackets before fiberglasssing them?!. Instead I used bondo or epoxy which has a much longer drying time.

I just wanted to know how some of you diablo builders using the fiero frame's are keeping the interior of your kit cars quiet. I just took mine for a spin down the road and mine is way too noisy,wind and engine noise. Thank's for any input. dave

go to http://www.soundproofing.org and check out their aircraft section. There is an online manual and good material descriptions & prices.
I used their materials & methods to reinsulate my 300hp airplane, and it made a tremendous difference.

Their basic method of sandwiching aluminum foil between two layers of closed cell foam whereever you can really works well, and is highly adaptable to our cars.

You might also try out Dynamat, its normally used for very loud stereo applications. Also use a good(at least 1/2" thick) auto carpet padding under the carpet. Make sure you have all your rear firewall areas sealed from the cabin. Luis

Hi Dave, I was at SEMA yesterday, and I talked to a guy who had a water based sound deadner that you can apply by spray or roller to the inside of fiberglass. It looked similar to the Duraliner bed lined=r stuff, but was meant to be a sound deadner on the inside of doors and firewalls and stuff. I have to call him next week and get the skinny on how much a gallon is, but this looks like what I'll be using. He had applied it to a cymbal from a drumset and when you hit it it just went "thunk" no ring at all..I'll let you know how I make out. He also had some stuff in a roll form, like dynamat, but it was a lot cheaper and I liked the idea of spraying the doors and floors better.
