1967 Porsche 911 Video 55 Installing sound deadening material 

Hello Nathan Thanks Wow! Thats a lot of videos..

Hello John Wow a 68 Alpha! Beautiful car! Timing is good=) I think you will have no problem once you get started..once working with it you will know what it needs..just time consuming! Good Luck!

Builds and Beers..What a great name!

Thanks Gary!

Thanks Sam=)

Thank you David!

Hello Calvin You're welcome I hope you can use some of this material in the future! Thanks for always tuning in!

Thank Joe for the nice compliment The 911 is an amazing work!

Hello Mark Your are most welcome=) Its been a lot of fun and the following has been incredibly supportive. She's getting there for sure but still have a ways to go for some more videos..Perhaps I will do another project someday=)

@@MikesRestorations I look forward to the next project with you Mike if you so choose. You are for sure on the homestretch your rewiring videos were made of gold thanks so much with your detailed explanations and exceptional gymnastic video skills, I know from experience that the two skills will fight one another when doing a project. I also am jealous of your work environment it looks very cool for the summer. I know when I was working and restoring my 911L I frequently lost traction with the build because of a poor work area. God Speed on the rest of the build.

Will press on Mark and keep also keep the videos coming.. Although I will admit that video production is not really my strong point.. Just using an iPhone with a terrible microphone and doing what I can to make progress on the car while keeping the series up to date. Each video takes approximately 6-8 hours of addition restoration time and editing.. I need to give up my day job for sure! Thanks for the positive encouragement!!

=)

Hello Dan Thanks=) You bring up a good point..The Tiger photo is a bit out dated for the channel at the moment. My intensions were to finish the Porsche and then refresh with a nice picture of the finished project. I will see if I can come up with a suitable temporary image until that time. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@MikesRestorations Don't get me wrong - the Tiger is a really nice car... but it isn't a Porsche. Like many other subscribers, I can't wait for the next instalment in your Porsche restoration series. You have tremendous skill and it is a pleasure to watch your progress on this project. Your explanations are clear. The visuals are very informative and I especially like the reference photos you often inject from the dismantling stage. You're a great 'teacher' and a natural story-teller, too. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers from Victoria BC, Canada.

Hi Dan Thank you for the compliment Im glad you are enjoying the channel No problem at all Dan I think your reasoning is right on target .. A good idea and we could definitely use an update and fresh look for the channel. The Tiger is a real beauty for sure but Porsche is quite the icon and also the project is beginning to look somewhat more refined...When I started this channel 3 years ago the 911 looked pretty bad.. Input is always welcome here and I think you have a fanatic idea Will work on it! Also New carpet video coming up for the weekend!

Definitely can keep going with more insulation on top in those areas.. We did add some foam on the fire wall during the carpet installation

Mike- I bought the pillar upholstery kit from Stoddard's- it has the four rectangular vinyl pieces (A+B pillars) and a piece of foam to go under each. I still haven't found your pillar upholstery tutorial, but it looks like you glue the upper and lower edges under to make a neat edge- right? But not on the sides. B pillar goes from the door weatherstrip channel around to the quarter window flange? I have the A pillar pieces I took out to use as a pattern but I'll have to make templates for the B pillar. Is the foam cushion layer glued down or just floating between the pillar and the vinyl? Or maybe your 67 didn't have it and it was a "safety add-on" starting in 68? Thanks for the help!

Hello Mike, Its been quite awhile since working those areas but if my memory serves me..I think you might find some video content for the A pillars in the installing the dash video. On my car the original A&B did not have foam under the vinyl but that doesn't necessarily mean that the 66/67s didn't have it. These cars were hand built and things evolved as they were being built. I did fold over the top and bottom edges and glued the fold shut with contact before installing. There may be some video evidence of this also in the rear quarter panels and garnish rails video. I then contact cemented the pieces into place. if you use the foam I would use a light spray contact like super 77 on the foam to metal surface only. I would let the vinyl slip on top of the foam and glue the vinyl to the body edge. Could be difficult!! not much gluing surface there. One thing to look out for on the A pillars would be to make sure you have enough vinyl running down onto the corner of the dash board area. If it is cut to short you will see metal underdash of the body coming through. The a pillars should slide under the finished dashboard in the corners. Good Luck and Happy New Year!

@@MikesRestorations Many thanks Mike!

Hello CanonCam Thats a great question! Would be a concern for the racing enthusiast but for turning comfort we'll work the added weight. Dynaliner almost zero weight..dynmat total..a good guess would be be between 10-15lbsmax..really not much for the added resonation dampening

Touring comfort=)

Hello Roger Shouldn't be a problem to keep going as long as they mask the interior when painting. You will still get fallout making its way into the cabin from the overspray even if they mask. However everything gets glued and covered up so its your call if you don't mind a little rough feeling on the dynamat. For the wheel arches I used 1/4 dynaliner foam but ended up scraping it back off because the panels wouldn't draw up tight enough. 1/8 foam would work best not the wheel arches. Good Luck!!

@@MikesRestorations I put on the Dynamat and posted several pictures on one of the early 911 face book group sites and got roasted for adding all that additional weight and quieting the beautiful sound of the 911 engine. I am still glad I did as it was the right thing to do.

@@rogersimpson1052 Hello Roger Sorry to hear you have had such a push back..It doesn't surprise me though.. I get it here too from time to time from the know it alls. The ones doing all the shouting are always the ones that know lease what they are shouting about. I definitely wouldn't loose any sleep over them. You did a quality job and you will enjoy the quality benefits for years to come!

Hello ocmacan..Im not quite sure of your question Are you trying to remove the old felt paper? can you be more specific as to your task

Hello 9meister and welcome to the channel Thats a great suggestion! The dynamat really prefers to be cold rolled however to remove it a heat gun would be needed..extreme heat is its enemy

Hello Andreas Yes using a 1/4 inch thick light weight foam dynaliner for the roof. You can see in the video 39 installing headliner

Hello T Hyatt I used 9 sheets 18X32 4 sheets a 12X36 and 32X54 1/4 I also used some dynamat stock I had on hand for the rear deck same dimensions 32X54 all these are available in our store under the dynamat page www.amazon.com/shop/mikesrestorations Good Luck!

Mike’s Restorations thanks very helpful!!

Hello Martin I used 9 sheets 18X32 purchased as a box set on e-bay 4 sheets a 12X36 sold per each also e-bay and 32X54 1/4 inch dynaliner for the rear deck ..e-bay I also used some dynamat stock I had on hand for the rear deck same dimensions 32X54

@@MikesRestorations Hello Mike ! At the end I ordered pre-cut insulation from Lakewell. They have many high quality products. Cheers / Martin www.lakewell.com/en/porsche/911/65-73
