Had my heat shield water jet cut today. Now to form and fit before ceramic coating. Been a while since I have been able to do anything. Putting in a mini split AC system in the house before the old central air quits, seems to be a priority!

A little shaping with a hammer and old fire bottle to get the bottom to curve around.. I should have shaped the bottom of the sides first then rolled the upper edge around.

The back side is an adhesive woven "lava" insulation blanket I found on Amazon. $34 for a 24"x24" piece which was well worth giving it a shot. Very itchy..

Started doing some GT40 stuff again. Pulled this damaged MK II rear clam out and started glassing up to make into wall art. Can’t decide which livery to paint or wrap in thinking about the red targa car. Not a baby blue fan. Any thoughts?
