  I used very pricey Dynamat in my '66 but I have no opinion yet on how 
wonderful it sounds when rolling since it has yet to roll.

    I am using Fatmat on my 65 now. I have used it before on other cars. I use 
aluminum foil tape on all the seams for the large areas if for no other reason 
than it looks tidy. Besides attenuating sound transmission the material also 
provides some additional insulation.


    On the sound I've determined that it dampens the sound as well as dropping 
the pitch, ie if you thunk your door with your knuckle you get a lower and 
shorter tone. The brain perceives lower tones as being associated with thicker 
materials.


    I bought additional thick padding for the doors this time. But it is a bit 
overpriced IMHO.


    And yes the next owner is probably not going to like it but my bus is not a 
concours piece either..

              So I just bought a roll of sound dampening stuff, started 
installing it on my bus and thought I would share my results, in case any of 
you have considered it but were not sure if it was worth the trouble.
