Default Heat shielding

Hi,

I added aluminum to the firewall in my '66 Midstates. Like the look, rather than just the black fiberglass. I put the thin Thermotech in between, then riveted the alum. Also put the thicker Thermotech all over under the carpet, then added fibrous carpet padding and/or dynamat inside the cockpit on the firewall, tunnel, etc. Fabricated an alum heat shield for under my firewall mounted Wilwood clutch and brake cyl's. The cockpit is as cool as the outside air. Also added a heat shield wrap to my headers just where they run underneath the mast/clutch cylinders, about 18" long. Everything under hood seems to be very happy. Glad to send you pics if need be.

Take care.

Jeff
