this is timely as I plan to do this as soon as my right hand broken bone heals
I have been looking at lizard skin paint on and these below gleamed from earlier e mails on site
like the idea of the paint on for ease of installing and covering as much surface as possible
want to do doors floor board side walls fire will etc as much as possible
in the past I put some asphalt based material on the fire wall under the back seat of our 87 westy did not seem to do the job
so want to hear as much as possible as soon as possible
thanks ed

insulation. The latter is NLA but I have a small stash I have been selling.
Best insulation made IMO.

This may be the site it is from but I it doesn't look familiar and I'm unsure whether it was a site or an attachment. I don't think v.com <http://v.com/> does so well with attachments, so . . .
