The truck has a rebuilt 235 so I can't imagine it'll generate a whole lot of heat what with all of the open area under there. I painted the underside same color as the outside base/clear though it sounds like originally the underside was just painted with black primer. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I've used that foil covered bubble-stuff on other vehicles but with such a rounded shape I'm worried about getting good contact and a smooth fit.
