The Ford Barn

Good evening Barners,

Anyone have a suggestion on the best way to insulate or re insulate the firewall on a 56 Vicky that already has new carpet/pad installed?

This is the first summer I've owned this car (Bought it at the end of September last year), and driving the car when the temps are in the mid to upper 90's makes it almost unbearably hot inside the car.

The firewall pad looks good inside the car but man it's sure hot down around our feet so I am sure it's heat from the exhaust manifolds. And this is with all windows down and both vent windows open.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
