Thanks for the inputs and suggestions! I currently have the butyl rubber sound deadener in place (to control sound caused by panel vibration) and I now just need to add a jute layer for sound absorption (I have a big roll of the stuff already). From the suggestions received, I believe I will try adhering the jute to the hardboard headliner (which I am currently building), and using a high quality contact cement for the vertical panels. I’ll also stick the jute to the inside of the door panels as suggested. Between the butyl vibration dampener, jute layer, hardboard and vinyl, I should end up with a relatively quiet ride. I also learned my lesson about loud exhausts as well, and I have a V6 feeding a single exhaust pipe. I will post the results once I’m all done.
