sound dampening
I used dynamat xtreme on my Vette. I used almost 3 full bulk packs I bought off EBAY. It makes such a difference on these cars. 95% of the random rattles you generally hear is eliminated and the car feels more solid.
This was on a 65 vette, and I covered the floor, firewall, kick panels.. everywhere. No unsealed seams anywhere. You car would probably be at LEAST twice as much dynamat to cover, so keep that in mind.

I used peel n seal. Got it from Lowes $20 for a 100' roll. It will smell a bit (like tar)for the first couple of weeks, but after that you cant tell the difference. I have had it in my car for over 3 year, and its great! Just mentioning a cheaper alternative.
Saw on a car show the other day restoring a project, they used the spray on/ roll on truck bedliner on the underside and on the inside floors. I am going to try this, should give youa nice sealed thin rubber protection inside and out. Not sure if it would actually help dampen sound though.
I build high-end stereos and found that bedliner is the best thing to use. The system in my 69 is worth well over 15k. I painted bedliner under the car, in the trunk, and under the carpet. No rattles and much nicer drive. Best of luck.
