ANy thoughts on the best way to go here? Getting ready to put my new (Moss) door panels on.

I purchased sound deadening pads from an audio/video supply store. This is the stuff auto-stereo buffs use in their megawatt setups. They come in 12 inch squares with one side self adhesive and can be cut to form. Relatively inexpensive and seem to do the trick.

I used this stuff under my carpet: https://www.fatmat.com/

There are couple of ebay sellers that offer pretty good deals on the stuff. I can't tell it from Dynomat.

Well they don't slam with a huge 'thunk' like old Dad's Studebaker but I never minded the sound of the TR3 door closing. Once closed I hear no rattles or other sounds that would be changed by sound deadening material in there.

I'm not sure sound-deadening is that important in a car with cut-down doors & side-curtains... heat insulation OTOH is a useful thing.

I saw this product in a magazine, unfortunately they don't have precut pattern for TR3

I have been using a product called "Peel and Seal" from Lowes. It is sold as a roof repair item, but it's basiclly the same stuff as Fatmat and Dynomat and its a fraction of the price. It has a 40 mil asphault base covered with an aluminum foil top. It is adhesive backed so you just peel it off and stick it where you want it. $10/roll.
