Re: [FWDLK] Noise gets OLD(er)

Hi Neil/List:

My 57 Dodge CRL was ordered from the factory with undercoating, which
seems odd since it was destined for Northern California where nothing
seems to rust to begin with.  "Bertha" has plenty of rattles, especially
over 50 mph, and especially in the passenger door and dashboard.  She
arrived into my care with glasspack (!) mufflers, which I immediately
had replaced with super quiet ones, and she purrs like a kitten.

Dave/List, I didn't RE-undercoat Horrie , necessarily, to keep him
'quiet'; he "came"
(& survived Indiana!!) with undercoating, so it was a natural 'choice',
and his undercarriage
metal wasn't so appealing, before & after sandblasting.

With his current 3.55:1 rear end,  he tends to 'shout' (or, izit me!!??)
a lot, above 70 mph.

The idea of sound-proofing  the carpet-padding
is rather appealing, to me; I'm always looking for something else to do
for H.

after my kitchen remodel, I'll install (@ long-last!!) his Sanderson
block-Hugger headers & aluminized   2 1/4" 'pipes', w/the
NOS "D500" mufflers, I won on Ebay.  Dunno what he'll sound-like, after
THAT project.

"Sounds" good , to me!!
Neil
