Been looking but its hard to get a good answer. so lets go from here.

 

I have a Z completely stripped of its interior, no carpet, no seats, no inner door panel, no nothing.

 

What are some good things to do to sound/weather deaden the car. Someone on the Ga Z club said there is some stuff you can buy at napa, sounded like black stuff you cut to shapes then adhere on with a heat gun. What do you guys use to make the car sound more solid, and be a little more resistant to cold weather seeping in the thin metal floor boards?

im having my doors redone right now so that the windows open/close easier and more correctly, and the door skinds replaced, and i figured he may know a way to fill holes with foam or something so they sound nice and solid... any tips for the rest of the car?

I did / am doing a number of things. My Z was also completely stripped. I first used truck bed liner on all of the surfaces. It's thick and will help deaden sounds and seal things too! I then put brown bread on all vertical panels to reduce the vibration. Next I glued aluminum faced insulation (JcWhitney) over all of it. This stuff also works on the floor, so I am glueing it everywhere!

Mine is similar to Demidion, get the rust out first then rust primer covered with truck bed liner (I used an aerosol can type). Then I used a roofing product "Water & Ice" I think it was called. It's sticky, tar-like on one side and thick vinyl/nylon on the other side. I think it used in roof valleys and edges. Cost me around $50 (canadian) to do most of the interior, including the inner door panels. The car's not on the road yet, but the doors have a lot more solid sound then they are closed. A stereo install place turned me onto it as a lot cheaper alternative to Dynamat.
