I did some looking, and no one is making them. the 1970 roadrunners had them and they're reproduced....

Gigures. Might have to come up with something. Maybe trim some two sided tape or like a insulation type to go there. IDK

The original hoods I took apart had no gasket. A couple were not even painted underneath.

Mine was the same, Larry. Weird because I thought there should be something under there. Like I said, might come up with something to put under it or leave it.

No gasket of any kind under the boomerang callouts!
