The end-caps and metal straps that hold them on still get hotter than heck, but you can literally grab the can with your bare hand. I probably wouldn't do it on purpose at full song, but if you bump it you won't get a burn.
Sometimes they discolor, or turn 'white-ish', but usually return to their normal color after they cool off. I've never had one warp or separate. Hope that helps.
On a side note, I also have a PT '69 Firebird, only a coupe. I am pretty much done, but I haven't had the time to post the build up on Lat-g or PT.com yet. Do you have a build thread going anywhere, I'm curious to see what you've done.
