i am trying to do some research, budget and get the parts together for adding wood boards to my panel van to carpet up and add insulation/soundproofing to.
i was wondering if there are any plans for cutting up boards for a panel van. i would like to board up the sides and the top, the roof of the van. on the outer part of the board, i was going to soundproof material it with padding and then on top of that, carpet these boards. on the other side, i was going to tape sealed plastic packets of insulation to the boards and then finish off with a clear plastic so i have been doing my research and reading ..

and i am thinking, cheapest place, and source for ..
* wood for the panels, and what is the agreed thickness and type of wood to use?
* soundproofing .. q-pads material?
* hardwearing speaker/carpet material that people use on the panels and floors of their van?
* insulation and how to pack it, maybe in plastic bags and seal it?
* plastic sheeting to make a vapour barrier and best way to put it on, with duct tape
Q. would pin tacks or with a tack gun not work because i guess that would make holes? should i make it airtight and use tape all round?
also, for screws and bolts what ones to use and how many would i need? i am trying to budget for this and get a list together in advance, any advice is very much appreciated!
i don't want much do i? lol. i was just wondering if there is an agreed way to approaching this.
thank you,
