    hood blanket

    Dear Panthers,
    My body shop removed my under hood insulating blanket. Any ideas where I can get another?

      kinda funny that the same years listed for a GMQ is a dollar more for it.

        yea that is funny, and the grand marquis would be the correct one to get for your wagon Donald, since 88 and up CV's used grand marquis hoods.

          Dear Panthers,
          Good idea. Hood blanket for the 87 CV fit fine except for the underhood light. I'll move that tomorrow.

            I haven't had one of those in a while. How much noise reduction did you notice?

              I don't think police cars came with that. Althought, the purple P72 did have one, until I ripped it out of there.

                  Dear Panthers,
                  87cp asked about noise reduction. Hard to quantify but pre-blanket, I heard engine noise and post-blanket, only exhaust noise from the rear (my 89 cp has no soundproofing in the back). Before blanket when it cut in after shutdown, the electric fan was very loud. Now it's muted.

                        they are there to suppress fire......idea is the plastic retainers melt and the fiberglass blanket covers the engine, unfortunately in the real world, after 20 years they are covered in 1/2" of oil and will go up in flames if put near fire

                              i want one made up with a Ford emblem on it like how the Lincolns have there emblem on them. make it look better for show purposes... but then again, no raggedy blanket makes it look better than one that is falling apart.
