Another Hood liner question

[georgeramos]

Does anyone have one from a "small bump" (74 I think) hood that they could trace on paper for me? I have found a couple of interesting materials and want to make my own...I will of course document the process

I'd happily pay shipping.

Thanks!

hi gorge
im also interested in a liner
what types of material are you concidering?

the hoods from 74 to 79 are small bump
all hoods were big after 80 till 85

Hi Joe, I havent seen them yet. A local Marine supply shop is getting me a couple of samples. I will post once I have some details. Im sure it wouldnt be hard to make my own template from cardboard either...

[124JOE]

yes cardboard

Big bump hoods started in 79. There are a few factory late 78 cars with 79 handles or hoods around.

and they take newer style hinge brackets and latch
but then you can mount the spring support for the hood

George,
You can order the correct "quilted" hood liners for the small bump hood from Mr. Fiat. I got mine from him and they were reasonably priced.

Kevin your car is breathtaking. Inspirational for sure.

Thanks for the tip. i thought the Mr Fiat ones were $150. I'd be happy if i can make my own for under $75...

i'll look them up tho.

The shop emailed and said the only material they could find was Thermozite which is a foil backed type. They also have available heat resistant "vinyl" type fabric in solid colors. no perforations or quilting though. The 2 layers could be double stick taped together then the liners attached to the hood in the same way. Or you could just use the Thermozite and have a silver colored liner.

heres what they said..

"Black Firemaster Plus fabric costs $53.74 per yard and our dealer charges an additional fee for purchases under 10 yards.

I think the most cost-effective solution is the Thermozite we talked about yesterday.
The single sided foil costs $21.90 per yard.
The double sided foil costs $29.90 per yard.
The foiled tape costs $9.90 per roll (30’)"

So if anyone is interested perhaps we can make a "bulk" order and i can ship you the material you will need to make your own. If the bolts are 48" wide one yard of each layer should suffice to make 2 liners... still not super cheap though.

I have one other "vendor" looking into alternative(s) for me and if I hear from them I will post.
