Did you put any insulation back in before you put the new skin on? I assume that is the remnants of the original one in your removal pic?

No problem, the backstory is usually useful to know why I did what I did.
Yep, insulation was installed. I don't have any photos of it though. I didn't want to spend the money on dynamat, so I ended up going to Home Depot and getting a roll of duct insulation. It's kind of like bubble wrap that has tinfoil stuck to it. I attached it using 3M spray on contact adhesive. In hindsight, I wish I would have used some ice barrier. It's some stuff we use under shingles next to the eaves up here in the frozen north. It's like a thick tar paper and much closer to the original material than what I used. I believe the intent of the original insulation was to keep the harmonic noise of the inner roof down, and I'm not sure the stuff I used will be great at that. I haven't driven the truck yet to find out.
This may be an instance where my inherent cheapness will bite me. It happens once in a while.
