1971 El Camino Liners - Gimme Some Skin!

Article provided by: Super Chevy Magazine

Dynamat Xtreme conforms and fuses easily to sheetmetal and other hard substrates. Before we started cutting and peeling, a quick mock-up and layout was in order. The Dynamat was spread out so we could see how much we had to use and where it had to be cut.	Oh yeah, don't forget to use this handy dandy roller. Once the adhesive backing is peeled, this roller helps push it into the floor's contours.	If air pockets form, an incision with a razor blade solves the problem rather easily. The same also applies to threaded holes in the floor and body plugs. Nothing a little cutting can't fix.
Dynamat is extremely easy to work with. A half hour later nearly the entire floor of the El Camino was covered. This insulation will do wonders for minimizing road noise and eliminating unwanted vibration.	Dynamat isn't just for floors and doors--check out this nasty rat's nest of insulation in the headliner. Sure, it was decent 36 years ago, but now it's time to go.	Wow, after all the sneezing was over from pulling out the dusty old liner, a quick cleanup was in order and the Dynamat stuck to the ceiling like flypaper.
The ceiling and the floor of the cab are now covered and ready to keep things quiet.	On the firewall itself, we decided to stick with the OE-type insulation from Year One. This saved us time cutting access holes in the Dynamat for all the wiring, linkage, and cables coming from the engine compartment.
