Wouldn't that be an absolute nightmare to keep clean in the engine bay? I reckon a smooth surface would work better for upkeep. All the best, Andrew.
Its not bad at all actually. Cleans up just like flat sheet. I had it in one of my Cobras and use the small quilt aluminum fire shield in my 348 read deck lid. I think it would look fantastic. This is a very bad camera phone pic, but you get the idea. Image Unavailable, Please Login

All I've got to do now is tighten up some angles and radius a few curves around the radiator tank in any more I make.
