Has anyone used any of these products?  Eastwood seems to be a popular one. I even looked at stuff on evilbay(ha ha Tony)  I believe that you get what you pay for. I want to cover the inside roof before i put in the head liner and cover the floor and firewall before the carpet goes in. I guess i can do the doors also. Any input  this stuff would be greatly appreciated.

I used Raamat, here's their site: RAAMAUDIO .  It was cheaper than Dynamat and doesn't get the aspault smell when the car gets hot some people complain about on the cheaper stuff.  I didn't do the roof, so I can't say how it would stick up there, but I coated the floor, firewall, inside the doors, behind the rear seat and inside the rear quarters.  I also used their Ensolite on top of it on the floor.

I used Hushmat, and had good luck with it. It was easy to install and looked good when finished.  I have also purchased a kit from Eastwood for the Camaro project, but have not used it yet.

I used Hushmat for the front and used Thermo-Tec's (got it at NAPA) stuff for the rear.Front was done a year before the rear. Both installed about the same, though Hushmat's has a foil backing. Cuts the same, I used a heat gun to help pre-heat the floor and again on the matting before rolling to help it adhere since i was doing it in the winter. Once stuck down, I used a small roller to push it down better. Once stuck, it's a beeyatch getting back up. I haven't had any smell issue with either brand.

I used the Eastwood stuff in the '66 and never noticed any smell. I DON"T recommend ANY product that has asphalt in it for the roof. It WILL fall from sun heat. There are a few lightweight "bubblewrap" type products out there for the roof. My '38 has it. I don't know how much it cut down on noise or vibratian since it was in there when I got the car.
