Sometimes old oil residue is really hard to eliminate and, even after sandblasting, starts to seep out. You might try a wax and grease remover prior to painting...or risk fish-eyes. As for the insulating material...they stapled a fiber-type material (like oil-board) between panels and reinforcements in some areas, such as under the hood, before they spot welded them together. As for replacing it...in my cab I used a closed-cell high density foam. Under the hood it might not look so good. There are classic auto restoration suppliers who make a replacement material. Getting in place and gluing or securing it is another story. I'm sure that there are minds on FTE who have a solution!

thanks resonateur
I have a sausage tube of that glue they put in windshields in with I was thinking (dangerous) if I tape the out side of the seam and fill the crack this stuff if it would do any good ?
thanks mike
