Bill;
Congratulations on your great deal on the syncro westy!
Hope you get a lot of fun out of it!

I'm interested in your (or anyone else's) experience with
the  McMaster-Carr sound proofing material.
Any insight / opinions you can give as you do your soundproofing
project would be appreciated.

Also; has anyone had any experience with B-Quiet? soundproofing
products?

Thanks!
Rod.
