Fat Mat Installed - Pics
Hy Guys,
Here is my latest effort - FatMat.
I know most people recommend Dynamat for this but I could not justify the additional cost.
It actually took more time then I thought with all the cutting & fitting but at least I can now check it off the list.
I had two 50 foot rolls and used 1 & 1/2 for complete the interior.
I've got lots of pieces left over and 1/2 a roll to double up areas and line inside the doors.
Here are the latest photos:

Nice looking work. I wish I would have done this to mine when I had the interior out. Where did you wind up picking the Fat Mat up at?

My carpet kit came with an underlayment, I have the firewall heatshields in place as well as the tunnel insulator and seal. With the side exhaust I'm hoping I don't need any more but am open to suggestions from those with experience.

I have never driven the car so I really don't know if I need the reflectix.

The primary purpose is sound deadening. The hope is that it will tighten the interior up, reduce squeaks, rattles and create a good environment for the sound system.
I thought I saw you using it with your kick panel speakers Paul and assumed you installed it in the 74.

yes, i installed it and it quiets the car down ALOT
look on ebay, i got 100 square feet for $120 shipped with a mini roller, i never used the roller, i did everyhting with a heat gun and gloves, it works ALOT better 
that's Additional, fatmat is for sound, reflectix is for heat (it does very little for sound) so yeah... i personally am not going to put reflectix in, if i need to, ill put it in later, it only takes about 15 mins to take out the interior anyways.. as for fatmat, it did an AWESOME job of quieting the car down, im even considering lining my T-Tops with it because when im driving, the t-tops are the ones making the noise now
