Default Sound Deadening!

So I spent a little time today sound deadening the storage compartments on the Vette, took some patience working in such a tight spot. I only hit my head on the roof roughly 15 times ! I basically used the carpet insert to outline on the sound deadening and it came out pretty decent. I couldn't get every single little crack but if I spent a few hours doing it i'm sure it could be better, but seeing as it's something noone will see I think it's just fine. I noticed that the drone in 6th gear while cruising is actually a little bit quieter, which is nice

It makes a big difference

I already did the cabin, outside skirts, and the driver's door panels. I have to do the passenger side to finish.

I also added good quality heat barrier to the transmission tunnel, below the shifter, and to the resonator. All made a big difference, the center console is no longer transmitting heat and my legs are no longer well done.

For the Drivers door panels do you have any pictures of where you did it? The spaces are so tight i've been wondering how to deaden the door, not sure to put it on the panel its self or coat the inside of the door while the windows up.

OP: Suggest HVAC silver foil tape on the seams it hides the non perfect butt joints.

Recently finished insulating the 57 wagon roof.

I didn't take photos of it. That day was 115°F but will take photos when I get the other side done.
