Great ideas guys !
I hadn't thought of header wrap.
Great idea - but way past my miserly budget.
Today, I switched the aluminum HVAC ducting for steel.
I also got a 24" x 36" piece of steel sheet to use for hot areas. I will likely need a second sheet.
I was given two 24" x 36" pieces of aluminum that I planned to use for the skid plate / belly pan, but they are heavy guage, and as crazy as this sounds, I passed on using them because of the weight.
I have built a skid plate / pan in the past using thin aluminum flashing. It is very loud when the car is at idle due to vibration; so this may be a challenge.
I'll try and update this thread with pictures of my progress tomorrow so that I can get y'alls advice on what you see that I-m doing wrong.
