For the rest of the padding, I was thinking of something like firewall insulation. 1/2" thick foam with a medium density rubber backing. Is this description similar to the 7# foam padding you mention?

Monday, the interior was washed out with soap & water but the smell still remained. Last night, I misted a 50/50 mixture of bleach and water and allowed it to dry. This morning I checked it and there was a big improvement. Tonight, I'll sponge it out again with a more diluted bleach solution.

The car will be going to paint [hopefully] next week so I'm not in a big hurry to reinstall the interior. This will give plenty of time to make it smell good. Also, I'd like to replace the headliner, visors, dash and console along with the carpet and padding. Maybe I'll take a day off soon and rummage through the junkyard.
