What is everyone using to put on the inside of the doors to reduce the tinny sound when the door is closed? Thank you, Ed

Originally the doors had a tar-like material smeared on the inside surface of the skin. The purpose of the tar is increase the mass of the door skin to change its dynamic response to vibration & to change its closing sound.

Sound deadener/undercoating in a spray can works well and won't cost too much.

If you've bought a new stainless steel kitchen sink in the past 10 years or so, they usually come with a few large rectangular pieces of rubber-like, sticky-backed material that's designed to stick onto the bottom and sides of the outer surface for the purpose of sound deadening. I try to swipe one or more of these before the wife notices because they are perfect for repurposing in the application you've asked about Ed. ;-)

Several coats of spray rubberized undercoating from Farn & Fleet. Great for sound and seemes to help with heat transfer

I like Fatmat for sound deadening and insulation.

I used RATTLETRAP in the doors, cowl and cab of my CCPU.

Here is a link I put on this site some time ago for sound deadening. Go to Lowes and look in the building dept. I put it in my coupe and it very quite when driving my car.

I've had multiple forums suggest the same LOWES peal and seal rubber mat as an inexpensive alternative. I think that's what I plan to use also! Also saw Lizard skin for a sound deadening paint for floor panels.

I have used Vibro Solutions sound deadener. It is not cheap but it is made in the USA. I have used some of the Peel and Seal from Lowes also. I know my model A is a lot quieter now and the doors sound very solid when I close them. I think it was well worth it.
