Thanks GeeteeOhguy
Can you tell me if your friend did anything with his doors and roof (assuming it is a hardtop)? I am wondering if we should be thinking of insulation up against the inside of the door skin OR insulation between the door panel and the door frame that the panel attaches to. This car has a 40 Y/o headline that has to go so we are planning to do something to the underside of the top before the new headliner goes in. Any comments on what your friend did are apreciated!!!
We have the same issue here in Hotlanta as you do in Calif. Likely more humidity here and somewhat less heat. This summer 90+ days over 90+ degrees. Sometimes it felt like HOUSTON!!!!
I am going FULL BORE on the insulation of this car because we want it as good as it can be and because I will be doing a car of my own later. The research I am doing for this car currently under construction is research I would have to do anyway for my car.
Another thing is window tint. This car has great glass so we are thinking of putting on the "add on" window tint. A friend had it done to his pickup about 5 years ago and the stuff has held up VERY well. The heat reduction due to limiting the direct sun inside the car is signif. The objective with this A/C and insulation is to keep the heat out and thereby minimize the heat load the A/C has to deal with removing.
