I agree it is a nuisance that the currently-available hood insulation pads are flat rather than die-cut to fit closely to the underhood cross-bracing. Seems to me a tool could be made to cut the reliefs, but it would be a big project.

I'm amazed that ancient battery came to life! Hope you took close, sharp pictures of the label on all sides, for later reproduction.

(Also, I think the case is hard rubber, not bakelite)

I wonder if Jim at Detroit Musclecar Tech will do them. It would be a blast!

Re the battery I'm glad it worked.50 years old!!! Wow, genuine Chrysler quality!

The tags is pictured and will be keep safe for future reproduction.

Today besides some birthday celebration I managed to do fillup the engine oil,transmission oil, power steering fluid and the brake fluid. Tomorrow will be some small stuff before taking the car to Emtings where they will do the front wheel alignment and adjust the headlights.

Then I mounted the trunk letters as well as the package tray clips. I also got a package last week. Inside was a NOS right rear Wheel well moulding that I've searched for years. Thanks to my buddy Johan who found it on Ebay!

Then off to state inspection.
