Our Reproduction Grade weatherstrip is a great choice for any level restoration. The 1963-1967,1968-1982 Hood Ledge Weatherstrip Seal is designed to help air flow in a correct path for proper engine cooling. Sealing the hood at the rear actually helps cool engine bay by keeping the air flow circulating in a correct manor, escaping out and under your car. This coated foam rubber weatherstrip is just the right durometer to allow your hood to close smoothly. This is sometimes called the hood rail seal.
