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 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!

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

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

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