Looking good Dave. What do you have inside that door for insulation?

Don't know what it's called, just some insulation the upholstery shop that's doing the interior brought up and suggested it's use. Seems to be a very high density padding, not much crush to it anyway...

I have been wondering about door insulation. I was figuring on some of the sticky foil type stuff - dynamat, etc but I'm not sure how exactly to get it in the door, in place and stick it to the door all through the small acess holes without cutting the inside of the door . Dave, was that door cut?

Nope, didn't cut the door. Made a paper pattern, cut the insulation to match the pattern, applied some 3M spray weatherstrip adhesive, then worked it into place and rolled it down. Access wasn't easy, but with patience and planning it can be done--on this one anyway.. To put the insulation in place, I loosely folded it, then started in the lower front corner, then the rest of the front side, then unrolled it into the back half of the door... One instance where being a skinny old cripple actually helped!!!!

Thanks Dave..I'll have to see if I can get some insulation on there before putting the windows back in and the inside of my door is much less accesable than that
