1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word

My inspection is tomorrow and I’ve been watching the Phoenix weather forecast creep up daily and they’re now predicting a high of 107°. I’m running a 26” radiator with a shroud so I think I’m good with engine temp, but I have seen the fuel in the carb boil while in my garage. So after some research I thought a heat shield and doubling up on the thick base gasket couldn’t hurt and might keep some of the heat out of the carb. Maybe not, but regardless, it gave me an idea for a fun, free project.
