yes like everyone here so far has said this issue has been around a long time. and for info also .....some states it is manditory to have the metal blast shield in the earlier mustangs to even be able to inspect or in some state even register them for road use. i have a 66 coupe and that was the second piece i bought to install while in the processes of restoring was the steel shield. i am still in the works of restoring but i will be probly welding it in place versus bolting it. Almost as much publicity on this one as the pinto with bad brakes and leaky gas tank heheheh..... oh yes i failed to mention i bought my piece of 16 gauge steel direct from local sheet metal fabricator i simply took size measurements i needed there sheered piece off and it only cost me $18 versus $60 plus the parts companies wanted and it matches what a buddie put in he 66 for material.
