Good eye! Yes I'm welding stainless bolts to the muffler head first and Dad's going to roll some beads onto a thin sheet of aluminum to make a heat shield between the mufflers and the gas tank.
Modern cars have heat shielding all over the place. My subarus are almost completely covered end to end with shielding plate on the exhaust.
