Project Truck Dynamat Xtreme Installation - Keeping Yours Cool

Everyone wants a cool hot rod, but heat coming from the exhaust system or engine compartment can transform the interior of the coolest car or truck into a toaster oven. Heat, vibration, and unwanted road noise can reduce ride quality just as much as an improper suspension.

Hot Rods By Dean in Phoenix added heat shielding and sound-deadening insulation from Dynamat to STREET RODDER's Project Shop Truck to ensure that our '47 Chevy pickup (Chevs of the 40's) will ride smooth, quiet, and cool.

After a thorough cleaning to remove all dirt and grease from the interior panels to be covered, the installation started with a layer of Dynamat Xtreme. This aluminum-coated material is an improved version of the original Dynamat that has been popular for years. In addition to the floor, firewall, kick panels, and doors, Dynamat Xtreme can be applied to the roof, trunklid, hood, and even the quarter-panels and fenders. The job continued with the addition of Dynaliner thermo-acoustic liner, to further reduce heat and noise. This was a simple one-day job, successfully accomplished with a few simple tools.
