Headliner conquered/installed!

Not the worst experience of my life, surprisingly. See my blog for details.

Well done, Clay! Congrats!

Good job Clay, that looks very familiar as I did mine two years ago using the same method of several hundred clips!

Looked at your blog and noticed you used QuietCar for insulation. How much did you have to buy to cover the floors and back seat? I and strongly considering this product for my cars.

2 Gallons = about $150 shipped. I got the roof, side panels and doors, too. The car sounds nice and solid.

Clay had 2 gallons of QuietCoat. Jay, Clay and I poured, smeared and painted that gunk onto the floors, hitting the ceiling, back seat, parcel shelf, doors, and back body panels with 2 coats. We poured quite a bit of extra onto the floors, and poured an extra-thick coating into the door trays. 2 gallons was just a bit more than was necessary, but 2 gallons is the appropriate amount to put into the car.

Once the QuietCoat was hardened in Clay's 67, we compared the sound of the QuietCoat car with my 76, which has all of the soundproofing and tar removed. The difference is startling. Once we have all the window and door seals in place, and install Esty's carpet set, Clay will rename his car the "BMW Mobile Meditation Temple", or "Whispering Womb."

Grice, I haven't told you yet, but I'm going to replace the driver's side door with that beaded curtain thing in your living room doorway. Additionally, I think that the ashtray will be particularly useful as an incense holder.

By the way, here's how she looks with almost all the windows installed.

I know that it has been a while, but could someone provide an update on the QuiteCoat installed in your cars?

 

1. Any issues with the QuietCoat coming loose, especially from the roof above the headliner?

2. Any residual smell?

3. Any other downside issues to using the QuiteCoat?

 

I have just ordered 2 gallons of QuietCoat for my 1974 2002 restoration, and want to get it done before the headliner and rugs are installed. Just like williamggruff's post above (2010-04-24), I plan to coat the the interior of the car (roof, floor, back, doors, and side panels). The cost was $168, delivered to my door, and the customer support from Steve at QuietRock.com was fantastic.
