I am getting ready to undercoat my 67, and I was thinking about shooting inside the entire trunk area also,then after it hardens spraying with trunk splatter. What do you guys think is this a good idea?

i think it will get hot and really stink and also soften up then itll be a mess to get up. what about the stuff they do truck beds with you can get the stuff just about anywhere and i know that gets hard and drys . just what i think. storm

Stinks and stays sticky for a long time.

If you are leaning to spraying the trunk, cosmetic or otherwise, you can get a spray on sound deadener. It hardens and can be painted afterward.

A few years ago I did a trunk floor on a 67 firebird with Duplicolor spray on bedliner. It was sprayed with a body schutz gun and worked OK. The pan was severely pitted with some pinholes and the owner didn't want to pay for a replacement so we came up with the bedliner idea and it has been holding up just fine. Trunk splatter would stick alright I bet but better to do a test panel first. The results would be far from show quality or original but may be what you would want for a driver. I wouldn't use rubberized undercoating, way to soft. Bob

I sprayed my floorboards with rubber undercoating and then used the sound and heat deadner called the "The Insulator" from JEGS. I have been pleased. No sticky and no smell. Very quiet thought.

Thank you all for your answers,once again the boys came thru! I am going for the "off the assembly line look" and I had never thought about the smell or how hot inside the trunk could be. I like the idea of the spray on sound deadner. I am building the car for myself and staying all stock,but I don't want to do anything that would look bad,I am just thinking about quiting done the trunk's boom box.

I was thinking about spraying truck bed liner on the underside and in the trunk on my Chevelle. Do yall think thats practicle or over kill?

Did a faux vinyl top on a car with 50/50 Deltron and body shutz. Looked great 3 years later and didn't flake off.

Shawn, no it is not overkill. I restored a 69 convertible over the past 2 years and wish I would have done that. The cost is not that much and it is a much better sound deadener according to someone who used it. One problem you won't have is brake fluid and transmission fluid shouldn't affect it, unlike undercoating. I had a trans line leak that sprayed the bottom of the floor and it ruined the undercoating in that spot.

I would probably consider doing the top and bottom and not using the purchased sound deadener on the floor. Should be real nice that way.

I have seen the "bedliner" products used for many things and it works really well... BUT If you ever need to get body work done on an area that is covered with that tough bedliner product, you will have a very :mad: graemlins/angry.gif bodyman. I have had to repair truck boxes with that stuff and I have to say that it's not much of a treat to do. The commercial products are a lot tougher than the retail stuff like Hippo Liner.

The spray on sound deadener is the way to go especially on the inside of the quarter's etc...

Just something to consider... Hope it Helps.
