The hood looks good.
I see you added a bit of orange and not black.

actually brent.. it's not bad sitting in it.. i need to get the bikini top on to keep the sun off.. but as far as the engine/exhaust/tranny heat.. you really don't feel it... only thing i notice is my floor panel will get hot after a lot of driving and i can feel it through my shoes.. the muffler is right under the panel... but i only feel it on the left foot... since the muffler is against the frame... so the go-go foot doesn't get warm... 
i plan on wrapping the exhaust but it's not a high priority of mine.. |

That's good, I guess since everything's open the heat can escape and not build up on floor pans. Looking good!

I hope you'll build in some knee/leg protection on the passenter side That could make some orthopedic surgeon filthy rich! You've got some serious guillotine action going on there... |

You could tack some 1/4" to 1/2" tube to it, Kinda like what I did to my rear tub cutout.

i was going to try that rubber door molding and epoxy that to it... if that doesn't seem too hot.. then i was thinking some small diameter tubing.. and welding it on.. |

i'd go with the tube idea....epoxied-on rubber moulding, on such a nice dash, would be rather unsightly.....
