SHARKSKIN Hood Insulation – 66 – 67 Chevy ll / Nova Standard Hood

Description

Premium Hood Insulation Kits

Now you can get the same high-performance materials used in today’s automobiles. This patented material is laboratory tested and OEM approved, by Ford, Chrysler, and GM.

The new SharkSkin Hood Insulation material is the newest standard for hood insulation. The original factory hood insulation in the 60’s & 70’s wasn’t great to start with, and most of the replacement pads are of lesser quality. Very flimsy, slags & tends to fall apart, and fray. Now most will provide some heat insulation, it will do very little to absorb engine noise, there is just not enough density to make a different. At most car shows I attend, I see a lot guys don’t even bother to replace the hood insulation after a restoration job because there is no alternative solution to the materials currently available for hood insulation. SharkSkin Hood Insulation will solve the problems.

Now it does not have an OEM look, if you have an original car SharkSkin may not work for you. The black scrim face will work in any engine compartment. Very nice ‘finished’ look to compliment all your hard work. SharkSkin is 2.5 times denser by weight than the ‘ repop‘ type insulation. This is GREAT heat insulation and will help to absorb engine compartment noise. It will not slag or fray. Our hood insulation is shipped flat, not folded & crushed.

Always appreciate when customers take time to let us know how much they like our products

Hello Fred,
I have attached some pics of my 1967 Chevy II 4 Dr.  This car was purchased new by my great grandfather on 8-21-67, then passed on to my grandfather, then on to me in 1997.  When I got the car in 1997 it had 29,000 original miles.  For the last 21 years I only put 2,000 miles on it.  In January of this year, I decided to do a complete sleeper upgrade with a new LS3 (495hp) full powertrain, Church Boys Racing components, all new suspension and brakes, and a full list of other upgrades.  The exterior is all original except for being repainted in 1990.  The new engine compartment, including your Sharkskin underhood panels that worked absolutely perfect.  Your panels gave my car the finishing touch it needed under the hood…..has the classic look that’s close to stock and looks very clean!  Obviously this car has a lot of sentimental value, and now, it’s a freakin’ blast to drive.  Thanks again for making a great product and thanks for showing an interest in taking a look at my Chevy II.
