I recently finished the interior of the Roadster with new carpeting. The car already had Dynamat sound deadening material throughout the interior of the body. A photo of the trunk area shows the Dynamat material in place. It is a heavy foil with an adhesive-backed dense rubberized backing. Commonly used in the street rods.
I insulated the cowl wall and floor of the passenger compartment with the foil-faced bubble insulation from Lowe's over the existing Dynamat. I then placed an indoor-outdoor carpeting material, also from Lowe's (same as used on the trunk and interior of the 55 Clipper) on top of the insulation. One type of material for noise control in place, and added insulation for heat control.
The added insulation material made a great improvement in the amount of heat coming into the passenger compartment and made some improvement in noise too. I would expect that in a closed car the improvements would be greater.
Most probably the materials that Kev and Howard have selected will do an excellent job of insulating with just one type being used. Looking forward to their progress reports.
