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.
