I'm trying to keep my 1940 Ford ForDor DeLuxe as original as possible during my restoration. I've searched many of the usual restoration supplier's catalogs for the original type of Waffle Pattern Body Insulation, but the ones that carried the product in the past either no longer list it or state that they don't have any in stock when I attempt to order it. The original insulation sheeting that was located under the rear seat carpeting measures 3/16" thick, while the material under the rear set and from the tool storage area in the trunk measures 3/32" thick. Can you give me any info on where I might try finding some? I need a 3' x 3 1/2' piece to do the under-carpet areas (3/16"thick), and another 3' x 3 1/2' piece to do the under seat and trunk tool storage area (3/32" thick). I also realize that I might need to laminate some 3/32" and 1/8" thick pieces together to get the proper thicknesses.
