I am restoring the trunk of my 68 that has the custom interior option. I mention that as the custom interior comes with additional body insulation, some of it is in the trunk. Can anyone describe the extra insulation that would be in the trunk so I can accurately duplicate it? The car has all original metal and unfortunately someone spray bombed the trunk.
As far as extra insulation goes the car has an asbestos? mat about 12" x 34" which sits on the floor toward the forward part of the trunk. Was the mat installed before the trunk spatter paint was sprayed or after the paint was applied? Also the insides of the quarters have what appears to be undercoating sprayed on them? I would imagine that the undercoat was applied prior to the spaying of the spatter paint. Was there any other areas in the trunk that were sprayed with any other sound deadening material?
And finally, who has the best product for getting close to the original spatter paint appearance? And yes I know that most of this will be covered up by the trunk mat..but I do try to do it correctly.
Thanks for any help you can offer
