Btw if you use a heat gun to take out the insulation, use a fan to blow the fumes away from you if there is any, but if I was doing it I would leave that in there and just add more over it, if its clean and does not smell bad.
Thanks for the tip. I might just leave whatever is there for now. I know the white outside and red inside is classic. I think I'm going to completly change the outside and inside color to a pure white color like the Summit White on a new Yukon. I don't like red interiors at all.

Well you have to always build what you like and it should be way safer and comfortable. I pulled my interior and did similar to your plans.
You have a lot a seats for that burb, I will stick around and enjoy the ride.
Your seat looks very nice after the cleaning.

Thank you. The seats will do for now. They really need all new covers but cleaning them up will be all that my wallet will allow for a while. I just don't have the extra funds to do Everything that I want right now. So getting it up and running correctly is where my money will go to start.

That's what I was going to suggest.

Also, it is not sound deadening, it is vibration dampening, as is Dynamat and similar products. You can read everything you ever need to know Here at Sound Deadener Showdown. If you want to quiet sound you have to put down something with mass. A lot of people use MLV (Mass loaded vinyl), so putting Dynamat over top of that is just a waste of time and money. I had to get a lot of that off the floor in my suburban, it didn't take too long though. A lot of it came off easily with the knife, the rest I only had to use the knife to get most of it off, then use a little heat to get the rest, then wiped the floors with some lacquer thinner and all the residue came off.
