The sail panels are the interior panels that go between the rear window, and the rear edge of the door glass, (behind the red circle in this picture).

Cover everything you can with it under the carpet and in the doors. You might spend $ more than you planned, but you will find the result is very worth it. This is one treatment you don't want to have to do again and you don;t want to cut corners not buying enough.

I have sidepipes and a slightly modified drive train, putting dynomite in the doors and under the carpet has really made the car feel civilized despite the hot rod parts.

You need at least 50 square feet if you want to cover everything.
I bought 2 boxes of the Eastwood sound deadener and had 2 sheets left over.

I used the foil backed stuff from Home Depot 6 rolls at $18.00 a roll.

That and the new heavy back carpet worked wonders.
