Hi Paul..what he is referring to is the astro vent system..it can allow heat from the engine while driving to be forced inside like a hair drier on your feet..there is a thread from rod7515 from above that used a product called lizard skin..search it out..I am not sure where he got it..Summit?.. but it works on keeping the floor cool..what year car do you have..we never really mind a few pics of other cars here! Hope this helps!

Paul, The lizard skin I got came from Summit. I used it on my 74 along with the insulation from home depot that has the bubble wrap with the foil on both sides. Made a totally different car by doing it. No more heat on your feet. I just finished using the lizard skin on my 72 and plan on doing the insulation on that as well. You can get the spray on lizard skin from a few different places. I just happened to get mine from summit. You will need a spray gun just for that. Not sure where you are located but you could always borrow mine if you decide to go that way. Just let me know.

thank you Barry, i really love it. I just got it last week and already put 1000 miles on it. I get lots of smiles per mile in it.  It has been 90% restored and i want to finish it. I got LOTS to learn about vettes, its my first one. I have restored 2 old 52 trucks in the past, but this is way different.

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.
Clap  Looks purdy purtty. The old EDSEL in the back ground is a looker as well.  Don't see many of them around. I rode to school in one in the late 60s. Green and white. The dash seamed to be way down by your feet. BIG car!

I was going to comment on that car but wasnt sure if it were an edsel or an old ford. In either case it definitely caught my eye!

My guess is it's a Edsel, i will check the next time i go there. It was a little town on RT66 called Seligman. It's main income is tourist so they have lots of old cars sitting all over town. When i pulled up there was a bus of tourist from japan getting off. They got out of the bus and ran over to my car and wanted to take lots of pictures. Gee i love my car.
