Hate you have to redo the hood. It's a lot of work to fix something like this. I know the repair will be like it never even happened considering your high level of quality work.

Jim, how well does the Kilmat work as heat insulation? I'm nearing the point where I will be needing to do the same thing. I've never used any of these types of insulation before and trying to...

Yes, it's looking very nice indeed! That's going to be a fun car, especially with the big block. You might need slicks on the rear!:cool:
