    1971 road runner Radiator Support to Hood Seal

    Thanks team, issue sorted. I flipped it around now it fits! Seems strange that the "open" side faces front. Does this rubber make any difference in the motor temperature?

    1971 road runner Radiator Support to Hood Seal

    It was missing when I bought the car but seemed like it made sense the way I installed it - so the "open" part of the rubber should face front?

    Not a road runner but a good find

    What drive line is in it? It would have to be a 4 spd with a big block and sure grip for me to even consider given the rust, rot & cancer - how's the interior and how much are you willing to pay for it?
