Default Progress

With the cold weather on us, work has moved inside. Some of the jobs under way include insulation under the engine cover and transfer cover, the dash board, the bumper and the hatch cover. A couple of modifications have been added, like a kill switch on the dash. Someone had cut two rectangular holes in the bumper which needed to be repaired. Insulation was added to the inside of the engine cover and the transfer case cover.

Here is the scoop. There isn't a brand name for the product. Dad got it from Mac's, a Ford parts dealer in Lockport New York, US. http://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_mercury_early/
The product is a foil with a thin foam middle layer, maybe 1/4 inch thick. It was glued on the engine cover using a contact cement. The edges were finished with an aluminium duct tape.
Dad thinks there may be similar products at a building supply center here in Canada.
