List,
I decided to go high-tech and save some money at the same time. With the
crappy weather this year, I haven't had a chance to check it out in a
really hot So Cal day. This stuff applies in the thickness of a credit
card. I have it inside the cockpit and under the driver's floorboard and
transmission tunnel of Red Car. It's called Lizard Skin.

I ran across it last year at Rendezvous 2010 in Eugene, 0R. Steve Day of
The British Car Ranch http://britishcarranch.homestead.com/ discussed it
in a Tech Session he was putting on. He described how you could spray it
on a piece of sheet metal, heat one side of that with a torch and put
your bare hand on the other side without being burned. That was good
enough for me. Mine was applied by Eric Grunden of Absolutely British in
Santa Maria, CA.
