I FINALLY got the dash out of my truck. I've become quite the master with the Dremel, and I definitely won't be replacing the clutch head screws with new clutch head screws. LoL
I want to sand and paint the inside/underneath of the dash as well as the firewall and was wondering how to go about it. Obviously I'll need to sand any surface rust but I've been reading about "sound deadening sprays" (in particular "Boom Mat"). My truck will be inside our [fairly climate controlled] pole barn when I'm not driving it [in good weather].
I'm not extremely worried about it re-rusting on the inside, and I've been warned about all of the road noise that we're not used to in modern vehicles - What have you used to treat your interior metal that's both visible, and not visible when your vehicle is in one piece?
While I'm at it - I'm leaning towards the "Summit Racing" "Thermo-Tech Acoustical & Heat Control Mats" to put underneath my headliner and between my back panel and seat. Thoughts? Have you found something better? I'm just putting a 261 in it but the older I get the colder I get, and the more sensitive my ears are to annoyances. Just trying to plan a step ahead so I don't have to go back and redo.
Thank you for your input! Maria
