Thanks for advice Lenie. Where did you get the blankets? I planned on coating everything as well. Just a little concerned with heat and being next to the frame and panels. I have plenty of room between the trunk floor and quarter panel. I know the mufflers are going to get hot but by the time it reaches the back I'm thinking it will not be that bad. Just want some reassurance. Maybe I'm over thinking it but I would rather be overkill than have an oh crap moment!! :) :)

Looks great Brent!!! Any progress is good progress!! Nice metal work, what bead roller do you have?

Brent ain't playin!

:thankyou:

Very nice Brent. Love that fab work.
Nice to see the updates. :thumbsup:

Looks killer as usual Brent. But hurry up.

Brent looks killer, craftsmanship is top notch! :thumbsup:

I'd be a tad worried about trapping the heat, but you'll know once you get her fired up and driving.

Great job again, and post more often :cheers:

I like what you've done. It looks great. Keep up the good work!

nice job Brent , I hope to get back on mine soon been to long

Brent I agree with everyone else,that metal work looks great.I really like your idea on hiding everything:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Brent, I found two used racing blankets similar to this https://www.google.com/search?q=NOS%...ml%3B600%3B434
on ebay but larger, I cut them to size, my father inlaw stitched them up then I used stainless zip ties to put them on top of the exhaust under the front floorboards, x pipe and mufflers.
