Firewall Insulation
My original firewall insulation is pretty ratty on one of my 73's. I have everything in and around the dash and firewall removed and want to replace the FI.
Here's an option:

...but it's somewhat expensive. And, perhaps there's something that's a more effective heat barrier that costs less. I don't necessarily need pre-cut insulation, but want something that will make for a "clean" install.
Advice welcome and photos encouraged. Thanks!

JC Whitney-generic dynamat
This is what I plan on using. Just tape in place and run a permanent marker around the holes from the engine bay side, then cut and paste. Should be enough for the entire car. 4ea. 4x6' rolls "dynamat" type insulation, plus the tape and adhesive included for $89.99 delivered. Didn't think I could beat that. Check it out:

I had to replace my interior harness last year, which required total disassembly of the dash. I went the Dynamat products; Installed Dynamat Extreme first from the firewall to the front seats and then the Dynapad on top of it. Also added Dynmat to the doors and the rest of the interior this summer. Have noticed a drop in interior temperature as well as better sound insulation as well. Not cheap, but you will only have to do it once.
