Thanks for the feedback!! Just wanted to let people know it's not a totally dead project! If all goes well, which it should at this point, the plan is to have it in for paint by SEMA. Quit laughing Jody! :lol:

Rick, I'm using a Mitler Bros. I have never used one until now. Been a nice tool to learn to use.

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:

Thanks Ron. I'm hoping it will not be an issue once I do everything as planned. Fingers crossed!

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.

Thanks Lenie, Much appreciated. I will look into these.

How about a little insight on the 55 you have going? Looks like a real nice car! More pics!

It's nothing special. Your's is :king:

Well, still been plugging away on it still. After weighing out my options on how to manage any potential heat issues around the muffler area I decided to use perforated metal. The rear area of the tire is open to draw air in and with these openings now I think crisis adverted!I still plan on coating & wrapping everything. This is just some added insurance. I also finished the rear pan as well.

Here is the pan

Now with openings

I don't know much about air movement or physics...but, I know one thing, it damn sure looks sweet!!

Looking good Brent !!!:beavis:
