New project underway! My first!

[blazerboss]

I couldn't resist the urge any longer, so I broke down and bought myself a 71 k5 Blazer. A lot of work to do, but the basics are there...

Questions:
1. I'm thinking line-x or rhino liner for the whole interior and just throwing down rubber mats. Will it get too hot? It does have a 2" body lift so there'll be a little distance between the exhaust and floor.
2. Anyone have billet dash cluster? I'd like to get one, but have concerns with sun glare? Anyone experience this?
