Bert,
Not sure about the tar boards, but there is a tremendous difference in the
firewall tar boards.
The cheap stuff is really cheap and the good stuff is barely as good as
the original. I think the problem is the shipping(for firewall).
The third option is to go to your local roofing supply company.
You can buy a 25-50 foot rool of some *thick* tar board type stuff
and layer it as much as you wish...and cut it as well.
The benefit is that you can also glue it to your inside metal and it will
make the car sound like a million bucks. You can tap you knuckle down the
side ofthe car and it sounds better than any new car you can buy. The
only problem is finding something that will make it stick.
Cheers, dave

Volks,
I'm rapidly approaching the carpeting stage of my restoration. I have a
nice set of TMI carpeting, but am looking at my options for underneath the
carpeting. I have new floor pans, so am starting from scratch. (Actually,
I still have the old tar covering over the tunnel).
Is there a substantial difference in effect between old conventional $50 tar
boards (like the factory used) and the more extensive $100-plus foil-backed
"Sound and Heat Insulation Package" sets such as those offered by MAMW and
others? Do the thicker pad sets significantly affect carpeting fit? Are
there any areas that need a little extra attention?
I'd appreciate hearing from somebody who's experienced the, um, flooring
experience.
