Funny, I used 6 sheets, 2x3, when I redid the interior of the Midget. 2
sheets on the rear deck, 2 on the rear firewall (vertical panel behind
the seats) 2 sheets on the floor under the seats. Shoulda got 2 more for
the footwells but ???. Stuff is great. Now I hear the exhaust leaks and
engine noises from the front but none of the road noises from under my
butt. (no comments from the peanut gallery, I know its more insulated
than it needs to be).
