Ordered a hood insulation kit from Quiet Ride/ Cheaper then LMC & Mac's.
It came with 3/8" or 1/2"jude padding foil on the one side.

I am adding extra insulation with in the hood panels then cover it with another 1/4" layer from Keep Cool thermal fiberglass foam panels. under the jude padding.

The outer finish panel is 1/8" ploy that cover it all with a full layer 1/4" under it.

Got started so far pics to follow

Stripped all the rust and treated with rust reform then painted black then spray on under coating
before adding any insulation




This is with 2 layer of insulation with taped edges

Left over insulation so put it on makes 3 laters.



Over lay cover about 3/16 or 1/8 poly film
How I held the hood while getting it installed with out removing the hood. Used a magnet to find the braces for the screws. Kind of like a stud finder.



More to come Okay,
Found and bought this Logo on EBay,it will be glued and a fixed to the under side of my hood.

 

Looks good.

 

Lookin' good Orich. Is that a "spare" starter solenoid on the bottom of the hood?

 

Sure looks like it, all kinds of goodies there on the hood. What's the deal in the center portion? Light?

 

Replying to posted questions that were self answered is ez and you guys are right on,

Jeff, I use to live & work in the desert for bout 12 yrs and was always prepared for a break down. Yep extra belts & Rad-hoses dual-batteries 3gallons water 5gals of gas, plus 30ft. 3/8" chain. 40ft of 5/8"poly rope, Army pick/shovel. And a CB radio with a 100 watt kicker.
A 48" High Jacker & A Come a long. Also had a switch on my Alternator to put out 120volts of AC power setup to an electrical plug outlet box. Had a 3gal. air tank mounted ubder the rear with onboard air from a vacuum air compressor.

This is a list of what stuff and what install or, I carried in my little 1964 International 4wd Scout was setup.

I traded my Scout for the Ford 71 4wd then changed over most of the stuff to the truck when, I got it then setup it up like the Scout when going out on the road or off road 99% of the time. As you know, you never know what will happen when your living out in the desert plus going off road.

And how not to become a victim of the desert land that you read about in the News Papers or on TV of not being able to savvied enough to make it out of the desert lands that take so many lives day and every year.as hundreds parish their. But not me! as I have helped many who tried to pay me for pulling them out of sand & flash floods and I said just help the next guy that needs help, it may be Me.

Obviously Wise on your part Orich. You and they have not been Bussard Bait. And You and I are alike in the help department. Only difference is that the way I always say it is "No payment necessary....pass this Help to the next person that needs it". Tip my Cowboy hat brim, and drive off in to the sunset in my gasoline burn'n stallion.

 

Just wondering what issue are you trying to solve with this mod? I just don't see what positive impact it would have.

 

Ford thought it was a good idea and placed hood padding insulation on the Dents .
Keeps the hood cooler not cooking the paint sealer off so fast.

And it gives me something to do in my Golden Yrs.

Gees I have to have something to **** my money away on.

That is the same reason I'm building mine. LOL
