Greg,
Smoky Panepinto did an article for the magazine (with input from me,
The Bricklin Boyz, and Kevin Hand), "Problems? No Problem - Too Much Heat?" a
few years ago about this problem. (I think it was the July 2004
issue.) Kevin Hand made up some heat shields and had pictures of
them. Kevin and Jim Kelliher also put some special insulation on the
bottom of the floor pan, under
the car. This deflects the heat before it starts to cook the
fiberglass. There are
both good options.
