It looks like there may have been an insulation pad inside the hood. Is there someone that has them?

Macs and Tee-bird both list them under part# 16738.No idea of how good repro they are.

Thanks. I've seen a few pads out there but I need to find out some feedback about them. Since I have a fairly original car, I am very scrutinous about any reproduction product I might use on it.

I got some from someone who advertised in the back of the CVA newsletter a while ago. I think you can find the same guy on ebay too; they fit/look fine.
One thing I did you may want to consider; I used spray adhesive to attach a sheet magnet to the back of the padding. That way I can easily remove it when just driving it and keep them clean/nice for car shows, etc. Also, when time comes to replace them, wont have to scrape off glue, etc.
They have stayed on very securely for long trips, etc; never had a problem with them.

Im not sure if thats the same guy or not, but they look like the ones i have, with the same backing, etc.
Since i used the sheet magnets on mine, i could pull htem out and take pics pretty easily if that would help (not sure what it would show, but happy to do it if you like) You wont be able to see the backing though, as its covered with the magnet sheet.
