Thanks for the replys. I took it off the chassis and took it to CR for them to take a look at. We're waiting for their fiberglass guy to see it. I know it gets EXTREMELY hot there with only 1/2" to 1" of space between it and the headers, but it surely isn't any different than any others that haven't had that problem. I tried "search" and didn't come up with it, but I think there was another post a while back where someone asked about heat affecting the gelcoat and fiberglass. I thought the general opinion was like Don and Sonny's in that the problem is caused by flaws between the gelcoat and fiberglass. The gelcoat should still stand up to that heat without cracking like it did.

In a somewhat related issue......I am thinking of repainting the firewall with trunk paint (black with gray speckles) as opposed to plain black so it doesn't show the dust, dirt, etc. that settles in all those hard to reach places so much. Anybody else used that stuff in the engine bay??
Thanks,
Wade
