Looks good. They are one hot momma in the summer. Do you have the
asbestos insulation panels on the footbox and underneath (over the
mufflers and pipes)? (Guys are using thin backerboard for ceramic tile
to replace the asbestos. Stick a light in the engine compartment and
look around in the cockpit for it to shine through all the openings,
then plug 'em up. Tons come in around the transmission tunnel too. I
have some foil insulation with a ceramic cloth backing to try, got it
for my turbo car and it really reflects the heat.
