RE: [Chevelle-list] 68-69 hood insulation falls out
Thanks John, As I think about it, I think that sticking it to just about anything that would make it stiffer (even cardboard) would make it stay in place. I'm going to try backing it with something rather than having wires over the exposed side. John Nasta -Original Message- John try what is called hardware cloth. It's a little stiffer that screen door screen but not as heavy or as hard to work with as chicken wire. You might want to cut it an inch or two short of the edge of the insulation all the way around. Hope this helps. John L. ACES #5597 70 LS5 TRIBUTE http://chevellfan.com/index89.html

I think if it were stiffer it would stay in place. Maybe I'll go with chicken wire since it's an El Camino :) What's the insulation really for anyway? Sound or heat? I'm guessing primarily sound (engine noise). Thanks, John Nasta

Scott, Shoot me a picture or two, please. Rich -Original Message- From: Scott Somers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Aug 1, 2005 5:20 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 68-69 hood insulation falls out I picked up some insulation at a Home Depot that was 3/4" thick, fairly rigid, and the good part- almost a chrome, reflective finish on one side. I cut it a little larger than the openings on the hood ( a 69 goodmark, good year, good heavens, whatever) high scoop on my 68) and pushed it in. It was stiff enough to stay in place without help. Now, I never drove the car more than 10 or 15 miles at a time so I don't know what heat would do over time. Cleaned up easy and was kinda car showey...if that's a word. If you need, I can shoot a picture to ya.

I should be able to get some somewhere around here. Thanks for the offer though. I actually have a second set now because one of the pieces from the first set got damaged. I'm wondering if there is any advantage to stacking them so that I can glue it all to the underside of the hood in the center. That would also solve everything. Right now it seems like there is too much space between the frame and the sheet metal to glue one layer of the insulation directly to the underside of the sheet metal. John Nasta -Original Message- John, you can only use chicken wire if it is held in place with baling wire. I have a few rolls if you need any. Brian

RE: [Chevelle-list] 68-69 hood insulation falls out
John, if you going chicken wire and bailing wire cover the sharp ends and help hold everything in place with - duct tape! Great for wide pin stripping too!

I have plenty of hood insulation clips but I don't think they would really help. I am thinking about running some thin wire across the holes to support across the center area. TIA for any advice.
