Great looking build! L love what you did with the lights and the full tilt front end! You may want to rethink that 1200 hp and go with something with a little more power. LOL! Congrats on doing it yourself and having your wife to help!

Looking great.......that insulation is going to make driving the car a pleasure! If you can, insulate the underside of the upper dash pad to prevent heat soak through the windshield.

Good idea! I've been putting this stuff everywhere I can. LOL! The COOL-IT stuff is a little thicker than FATMAT. Once I apply it I heat it with a heat gun then roll it on....I feel sorry for the guy that want's to remove it. Thanks for the suggestion.
How's your car?
