3rd Brake Light / Hood Insulation / Wheelskin 120-130 1968

The Heatblok firewall blanket looks interesting; although I am more interested in blocking noise rather than heat. I wonder how it compares to something like Dynamat in that location for sound deadening?

One good reason I can think of for installing reflective sound deadening under the hood is to keep the top of the hood cool, and thus discourage *@#$! cats from jumping onto my nice warm hood with their dirty little feet; I swear, if I get my hands on one of the little b*stards I'm going to cook it and eat it for dinner!

I've been looking at the rear reflectors as a possible location for supplemental brake lights, and using a super bright LED array behind the reflector lens. I like the instant-on aspect of LED's for getting people's attention, but I'm skeptical about finding a single LED lamp that would adequately replace the brake light bulb in the tailamp housing (inadequate dispersion, or brightness) which is why I would only use LED's to supplement the existing brake lights for now.

You could add some bullet lamps on either side of the car above the side glass, ala Citroen DS19, but if I see you, I will pretend I don't know you ;)
