Maybe they sell lead that is sealed with something? The lead would also be under the carpet, so you wouldn't be physically touching it or eating things that were touching it :)

As a cheaper and less hazardous option you could get away with cold rolled steel... Works a lil less, but weighs and and costs less too... The easiest and best/ cheapest solution would probably be foam.

Someone guide me through this.

1. Gut the car and lay down the carpet padding.
2. Put hot rolled steel over the padding.
3. Put the car back together again?

Is this correct? No adhesive for the padding? Can I get the hot rolled steel at home depot or lowes? :thumbsup :sm29: :words

Do not put steel over the padding thats seriously crazy! steel regardless of make up still weights a shit ton. just put the padding down and be done with it.
