You can cut vents in the body to extract the heat. Maybe put some heat shielding or fiberglass tape on the body to reflect the heat away.

Hi WickedFog
Where would I purchase the tape ? It’s most probably online yes? How much does it cost? Is this normal for a ftx carnage? There seems a lot of people complaining about such a thing. Now it’s happening to my shell so I’m gona buy a clear shell paint it myself and put the tape on as you suggested and stamp holes along the exhaust side sound good to you?

LOL. You can get Aluminum tape at most hardware stores. It is used to tape exhaust vents. The good stuff will stick really well and can be molded into any shape you apply it to.

you can use muffler tape from a auto store.

Make a metal body few mine like that. They won’t melt but if not vented right will be very hot!! Possibly burn up all internals.
