Just an FYI for current builders. I have a completed car in my shop for some major upgrades. When removing the seats I noticed that the carpet was melted under the seat. You should really consider insulating your interior and maybe even a heat shield between the muffler and floor. I don't know if it could get hot enough to start a fire but why take a chance. This car will be getting insulated for sure

Thanks for your info. I will look into a heat shield when I get that far in my build.

Mike,
Would you consider manufacturing a heat shield(s) for the 33 mufflers? Since the muffler location and their size is
pretty much standard for the 33 kit, they would be a standard size. It would be a welcome
addition to your inner firewall and your other fine products.

If Mike isn't up for it, I can do it. I can't advertise my web site as I'm waiting for a response from FFR on a banner ad. However, you can check out my build page on the other forum. Thanks.

Tim,
I checked out your build site on the other forum, but didn't see the heat shield(s).
Thanks

Hi Rich,

My bad .... I should have explained that I haven't developed any. Just pointed to my sight so that you could see the quality of work we do. I have about 20 parts for the 33 offered ( some on my build page ) and another 5 or 6 in development.

Current and future parts can be seen on my web site as soon as I have the ad secured here. I hope to hear back from Dave Lindsey this week.

I can do the heat shields or most any other parts but won't if someone else intends to offer them.
