Definitely a good idea. Where does one buy a welding blanket?

I ordered it from www.toolfetch.com -- it's called the "Velvet Shield." If you didn't know better you'd think it was just a piece of rough, thick velvet. It folds easily and tucks behind your seat. |

I just stand up and step out. In fact, that's the only way I can get out. If it had a top they would have to bring me food and a bed pan.  |

That's the main reason that I resisted putting the top up the last time I got caught in the rain. Just pushed down further on the go pedal to force the rain over the top! |

Half throttle street cars do bad things when you drive them and then turn
around and bite you when you try to get out. Macho is expensive!

Pat I have the same permenant mark to
patrickt I have been bitten by the cobra.  I melted the pants leg to the side pipe. 2 hours with a plastic razor blade to remove the cloth.  The stain mark is still there. 9 years later.  See you still can teach old dogs new tricks and get them off the porch.  Your setup looks good. |

Thanks Patrick and Rick, just ordered mine on line too. I need something for the shows/local hang-out. At the cost of gas and time it's just easier to let-your-fingers-do-the-walking.

Yes ,I realize this is a 10 year old thread,but if Patrickt is still talking about it then I guess it is ok for me to say, use rubbing compound ,to get the stain off your pipes. I had a plastic bag melt on mine left a horrible stain removed it,with no scratches. |

I will pass along the tip that 409 Cleaner works great at removing seared on sinew from ceramic coated pipes.  |

Q's:
- how long should they be to drape them as shown in the last pic? (I don't have the car yet to measure).
- how easy is this material to cut?
Thanks!

If you didn't know they were welding blankets you would think they were just normal blankets on a bed that weren't that soft and comfortable. A nice pair of scissors cuts them very easily. Wait until you have the car, and then you can custom cut a piece to fit nicely.

Same, I liked the idea so much I installed mine with snaps - they just roll up and store nicely inside the door sill.
