well i went back today to get some more parts off the two wagoneers. and i got the three hood insulayion peices for 20$ they are newer ones too. brand new looking
Juat gatta figure out what glue to use. Im thinking of maybe using a contact cement from dap.. Have to wait till it warms up though. 20-30s is too cold for glues

Most manufacturers offered hood insulation as a part of a quiet insulation package to make the car quieter. I suppose it deadened underhood noise.
My 1977 AMC Hornet never had hood insulation originally, it was optional. It still has the original paint on the hood with no heat damage, but then again it is baked acrylic enamel which is practically bulletproof anyway. I put insulation on it and it did make the car quieter.
So paint protection? Maybe. Sound deadening? Probably.

pict of the hood side please of the insulation, then we can think of which glue to use, any brand name if it is not an OEM

Well i put it on.. was 65f today. I used the weldwood contact cement that i used when i put on my vinyl headliner. Its high heat resistant
Looks good i think.. Not a fan of the fiberglass as its all in my hands lol but whatever.. 20$ is cheap for newish insulation vs 50 plus 15 for shipping
