Thanks Guys
Merv - What have you used around the edge of the aluminium sheet. I'm assuming it's aluminium and is the rest is heat shield.
Lionel - I like the colour of your car. What have you used to cover this area.
Thanks Bob

Bob,
The color is Ford meteorite, the engine bay is covered with an ACL product RS heat shield. I found it on a website called cazracing, it was about $200 a sheet 1600mm x 580mm.

On the Harrison Cobra we built, we fitted aluminised woven cloth to the tunnel and front of footwells with high temp silicone. Then fitted aluminium heat shields to front area of tunnel and front of the footwell. Heat shields have about 5mm air gap.

Bob that was just a heat proof rubber edging - later replaced by an aluminum edging. Yes the heat shield was that really good stuff that I got from melbourne. The car is very cool inside the footwell.

Hi Wodnas, a couple of pictures of my engine bay painted silver.  
You should check out Tenroccas gallery, Its one of the best Ive ever seen. He has done an incredible job of cladding his engine bay and boot in aluminium sheeting. Its fantastic! 
Regards.

Mando,
I wish you wouldn't have posted this picture. It's costing me a fortune.
PM in the pipeline.

Mando, I agree with Fuzzy! Very nice!
My car is scratch built. I built a steel space frame, used C5 suspension, diff, ect. I converted the Diff to accept a driveshaft and bolted into the structual trans tunnel. I welded an aluminum cradle that attaches to the frame and supports the body. Since this picture I have put on a longer throttle cable which is hidden and moved the air cleaner out of sight and into a high pressure area. I molded the engine cover for the LS6 Vette motor.

Mando,
I never get tired of the Morrison Injection.
The offer is still there if you want to swap
