I appreciate your reply and intend to insulate the floor as much as is possible and practical. The gear selection housing heat is a problem that can't be corrected. But I see no reason why carefully made heat shields can't be used to cover the exhaust pipe from toeboard to behind the seat area. I'll have to give this thought, after I get the car reassembled and check for clearances... and the practicality of the entire exercise. I sure don't want to be drilling holes in the frame to attach heat shields, but I think they could be clamped to the exhaust pipe itself. Thanks for the hint on the shoes!
