Friends:
 
I hate to bring up the unthinkable, but it came foresquare to my mind after 
removing the rear interior panel. That is, there's literally nothing between 
the occupants and the fuel tank but a thin sheet of fiberboard. Being a child 
of the 60's and 70's, I read accounts of exploding Pintos and Mustangs that 
burned up anyone unfortunate enough to be in the car during a read end 
collision.
 
Has anyone ever constructed some kind of fireshield between the passenger 
compartment and fuel tank? Before I try to fabricate one myself I thought I'd 
see what others have done first. Pictures and suggestions of any kind are 
welcome.
 
Safely your's,
Jim
