Here's a pic I took halfway thru. It takes two boxes of the underhood liner for full coverage.
Edit: Here's the thread from when I did it http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=808418 I was going for noise reduction but it definitely contains the heat too
Dave,

Did this add quite a bit of weight to the hood in terms of the springs keeping it lifted when opening the hood?
