Default insulating your mustang!!

Is there anyway to perhaps "fill" the hollow parts in the car with some kind of insulation to help it stay warmer, or keep the cold out? I just thought this place needed a really different topic for discussion for once.

For long term storage it won't help. Insulation only delays heat loss. After a day the inside will be the same as the out. I see my garage is at 1degree today, not much I can do to keepo the car warm except heat the garage, but it's toooo big [&:]

i mean more like for when you are in your car. Once you turn the heat off it feels like all the heat just escapes so quickly.

Hot rocks. Put em on the floor boards. They release their heat slowly for hours of comfort. I was once at a drive in movie and along with the speakers that you put on the window, there were floor heaters that you put in the car. The place was open all year and was on State Ave. in Kansas City, KA. circa 1974

Heated seats... Now heated feets. BAD PUN! I'm stuck at home doing school work because I'm sick and I had to skip work. This is what you get what I'm not all there.

It actually was quite toasty.I was there with a date, and long story short, we fell asleep and woke up at 2 am and everybody was gone. It was like a Nuke went off and we missed it. Got her home an hour later and she was locked out. Had to boost her in her bedroom window. We were supposed to be homeby midnight.
