Hood liner

[williame3590]

Anyone know where to get a nice one with maybe the C5 logo or 50th anniversary logo?
My original is starting to delaminate and is quite dusty and crappy looking. I plan to start adding some engine enhancments and don't really want to pop the hood and look at this original liner.

thanks

Bill

Try these guys. I've bought some stuff from them. Or, do a Google search for Canadian Corvette parts dealers. There are others.

I buy quite a bit from them Keith but the only liner I have been able to find is polished stainless. I love the stainless but I'm worried about the insulating factor. What's your thoughts on that?
Maybe I'll remove mine do the repairs and give it a good cleaning.

Stainless will have no insulating value other than the shiny surface would reflect heat. I'd get a stock style hood pad with the Chevrolet logo on it. They look nice without being over done.

Exactly what I'm looking for Keith but to have one shipped from the US would be too pricey.

Check on Corrado mentioned in the earlier post. He's in Toronto and might be able to do a picture on a stock, factory hood pad for you. Just a thought.

Hey Bill, try this thread that Manny did a few years ago. I did my liner, so have a look and see what you think. Took about a week counting some days just to let the paint dry , but in the end the effort was worth it. Still looks as good now as when it was finished, which surprised me as I thought it would be affected by the engine heat.

Forgot all about that old thread. I just used BBQ paint and tester's model paint
Mine still looks great.

 

[williame3590]

Thanks for all the info guy's but I bit the bullet today and just ordered a new one.
From our dealer here in Caledonia, needs to be shipped from the US so between that and the crappy exchange rate right now I didn't think it was too bad. About 350.00 all in.
Mine was getting fairly crappy looking and the layers were starting to delaminate.

I was thinking I might get Corrado to paint something on the liner before I install it.
Someone have his #?
A friend of mine just received some art for Christmas which was all done from photos of his 72 Chevelle. One of the photos also had the B-25 Mitchel in it from last summer's event that Will's puts on.
I think Corrado was the guy who did the work and it is absolutely gorgeous.
My buddy broke into tears when his wife presented it Christmas morning. lol What a weiner!

Got the new hood liner today as well as fasteners from the steelership. Actually, considering the size of the box I am very happy with the price. Basically took up the whole box on my Ram 2500.
315.00 all together taxes included.
I'm not planning on a big complete mural but I think I would like to have something painted on the liner.

Corrado does some great work if you're looking for something on the hood liner.
