insulation
 

payton have you mad any decisions yet I am with you. I am not wanting silver but not sure what I do want, I have considered the molded insulation from classic but I am affraid that aint gonna be pimpen eather. and my paint gun decided to start spitten when i painted my hood and I really dont want to paint it again...

no decison yet
 

I thought about getting stock hood liner, maybe 2, and cutting the pieces out of that material to fill in between the braces. I am a not sure regular foam would hold up to the underhood heat and I sure don't want a piece dropping on top of my motor or header.

If you check out Hushmat, they have a closed closed cell foam in 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2. It's black and has a high temp adhesive, it is the same looking stuff Rad Rides used on their hood and trunk lids.

thanks
 

thanks for the tip...are you a dealer?

Yes, we keep most of the options instock

What ever you choose to do make sure it sticks forever. Its going to be nightmare if it falls on header / exhaust pipe.

how about mirror

Have you seen the mirror kits pre kut to fit between the braces, as clean as your engine compartment is this may look good but might be a pain to keep clean.. they are in classic ind. cat. page 481.. i think they are acylic like plexi-glass. I may go that route myself.

Thanks for all of your input...
 

I have decided to have the hood sprayed with Line-X in between the braces. I wanted something that I could just stick in the holes, but as some of you have mentioned and I feared, it may fall on the motor.

Back to the original problem. the dude that spayed my hood did not get paint in between the braces very well so with the hood up you can see, overspray, thin paint and in some spots primer. I will post pics when completed, but it is going to take a month or so as it is not a pressing problem.

I spoke with Line-x today
 

and the bed liner material will withstand heat to 280 degrees...looks like it is a go.

Hood Insulation
 

I bought mine for my 70 Chevelle from OPGI. They have it cut to fit within the openings in the hood skin and it is a black mat material.
