Well, I guess that settles it. Goodbye hood insulation!

My 78 has no hood insulation, and the only place I have paint bubbles is the hood. I bought it that way, though.
Why not just buy it ffrom Eckler's? Cheap insurance....under $50.

The Eckler's catalog indicates "not moulded as original", which leaves me to believe it will look like a bubba-job when I get through installing it.
I like the clean look of a sprayed (and uninsulated) underhood...
