Thanks   it was your notes that made me look at Lizard skin originally 

so it looks like that is what I will do along with getting the after market insulating material for the engine compartment

So looking at two gallons of Lizard Skin for the interior 

I will have the headliner out in the front cab so guess should also spray it
