Insulating (Dynamat) the Inside of the Doors (1967 Mustang)

  This was a fairly simple process, but again the only posts I found where "just do it" with no useful instructions.  I used Dynamat 10435 14.75 x 12 inches, 4 sheets per box. using 12 inch width I was able to use 3 strips (front to back) with only a small gap that needed to be filled in the end. So here are my quick tips to help you make this process easier. The doors have limited access space so cover the floor or something easier to work with first to get some practice with the Dynamat.

They showed up in good shape, I test fit them after removing the arm rest hardware for the 1967 deluxe interior, and while I'll have to cheat them as far back in the door as I can get away with, you can see the hole line up exactly for the door handle and window roller! I recently replaced the cotton and burlap mess of padding in the rear seats with upholstery
