Underhood treatment.
How do you fellows treat the underhood? Insulation, plain paint, bed liner, let-er look bad?

Re: Underhood treatment.
I prefer to keep the insulation. It keeps the noise down.

Re: Underhood treatment.
I painted the entire sheet metal under the hood, including the hood underside, with gloss black paint from Home Depot ($1 per rattle can.) It looks ok to me, except on one inner fender where a gust of wind blew dirt in that location when the paint was still wet.
I got underhood fiberglass insulation pad from LMC and was able to reuse the original plastic push pins. I would not use that again LMC pad again. I would use any of the better aftermarket insulating materials and use that, like heat resistant hood insulation. That aftermarket insulation is pricey, but I don't think the LMC stuff does any good, at least is does not deaden the engine noise in my experience. |

Re: Underhood treatment.
Heres my 82 . This came from the dealership . It comes as one big sheet . You will have to trim it to fit . The clips also come from them and are in the factory locations . I made a cardboard pattern to trim by . Heres a couple pictures .

Re: Underhood treatment.
Here is what I used on mine... http://www.quietride.com/acoustihood.html
It comes with heat insulation you put in all the indentations on the bottom of the hood before you put the ABS panel on. |
