Danny G Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I thought you were after burl???? Perry's contact info is there. Iirc he was needing a few interior trim pieces to develop the patterns, and offered to do it to them in return for the loan of the bezels etc.. That Lincoln steering wheel looks amazing! (to me) ETA; IDK about your wife, but it seems he already has most of the patterns developed for plotter or laser. yea I'm looking at burl right now, that aluminum looks nice too lol you guys added a new player to the game. And I agree, that Lincoln steering wheel looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading on lots of forums that stuff about runs you out if it gets warm out in a hotter climate. I live in a cooler spot and am thinking of using it.

Not the OP but it will follow the same rules as any insulation - slows the transfer of heat between sides. So in hot weather it will keep the reduce the hot body panels from soaking in and in cold weather it will reduce the interior heat from leaching out. Not sure what the reasoning on the other forums is but in any climate, there is benefit. If nothing else, the sound deadening properties. I say do it, especially the doors.

I agree 100% I have foil face mass damping on the floor, up onto the firewall and sound deadening in both doors. My ex complained her feet were hot. I don't see a downside.

I've heard that said of Peel & Seal, but I have used it and did't mind the smell - and it gets HOT in Okiehoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond childhood memories evoked by the smell of hot paving, old time leaded gasoline and burning leaves in the fall. At least a couple of generations since then (and every future one) that will never know a world like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n39470/IMG_20190927_211708.jpg Hey Scatch, I probably missed it along the way, but where did you buy this carpet? LMC? Did it come with any padding on the backside or no? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare carpet in a darker brown made for a truck with manual(more hump in the middle) that I ordered by accident. Be very careful on RA to get the right cut.

The Eva may smelled of asphalt a bit but I let it air out in a very hot SC garage for about 2 weeks and the smell went away. Peel and seal is typically straight butyl rubber I think. I doubt it has much if any smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
