>Just curious what you used for sound proofing?

I used a product called B-Quiet that I read about on this list, starting with one 50' x 12" roll and quickly getting two more. It's 1.15mm thick, self-adhesive and foil backed (fronted?). They have another type that's half again as thick.

There's one layer on the floor, under the rear seat and over the engine, with a series of strips in a second layer in the low flutes on the floor. Two layers in the walls and hatch.

I looked for different insulation, but could not easily find closed-cell foam. Since the old yellow fluffy stuff was still dry and had not contributed to rusting I reused that and crammed in most of a roll of R-13 from HoDepot besides.
