Had a little time so started applying sound deadener.
Using Kilmat as it is cheep and light while still quite effective. Very happy with it. Sticks well, easy to cut and no smell.
I want to keep the weight down so not covering everything. Small patches will deaden most of the vibration. Quit amazed at how well it works. I nocked on the panel before and after and it makes a huge difference.
I should have put two full pieces on the rear panels though. They are very noisy and a single piece in the middle wasn't enough. Added some more and it did the trick.
I am going to cover all the rear deck and rear floor as they are covered by plywood but not sure about the rear fenders and firewall (or whatever its called on these). They will show when the seat is part way out or looking inside the right cabinet.

I quit like it. Looks a bit more golden than the photo. I need to find some dewaxed shellac to put over it and then poly to seal it. Think it is going to be exactly what I hoped for color. |
There's a guy near where I live that has been duplicating Westy interiors for years and he tops off with beeswax. |

back in the day they used 6x6 or so pieces of heavy tar mat the same way.

My '60 had Dynamat Extreme applied to this area as well as behind the interior panels. I was looking for something under my rear bench/bed seat a few days ago and noticed a few bulges in the Dynamat. I pushed on it and it felt spongy. I made a slice in th Dynamat and out came some liquid! I don't think it was water as it was -7C. I've since removed all the Dynamt. There was some surface rust starting in some areas. I'm now working on cleaning up all the residue...

are you saying you have a leak around your rear hatch? like many people do? Might be time to fix it?

The bus hasn't been in the rain or washed in over two years. I did degrease and wash the engine/fuel tank compartment the fall of 2017.
The Dynamat was poorly applied. Lots of small pieces with gaps and overlaps.

Sound deadener on. 50 sq feet was just enough to do the roof and sides. Forgot when I ordered it I wasn't planning to put Kilmat on the floor and deck.
I put a little extra over the front seats. Figure it may help a little with wind noise. Put a little on the nose. Made sure it wouldn't show over the parcel tray.
Amazing how much different it sounds when shutting the doors. Nice solid sound.

Very nice job! I wish mine was done so neatly.

interesting! where do you think the moisture is coming from? can't be condensation?
