Hood Insulation

When I had my 64 Belvedere, I thought I should buy a new hood insulation pad and did so. I didn't like having it on there because it dropped a lot of dust on the motor, made the underside of the hood hard to clean, and picked up stains from moisture and started to look ratty. I ended up taking it off and chucking it, and I liked the cleaner looks of no hood pad. JMO, Geof
