    1969 underbody insulation. My car didnt Come with it

    I ordered a new set of underbody insulation for my July 69 car.

    It appears as if it never had the left and right pieces. The original tunnel insulation is still in excellent condition and held snugly in place.

    There are no clips ANYWHERE to hold the driver or passenger side pieces in place. There is also no sign that there ever were any clips.

    I was reading online that another july 69 car also didnt have the insulation.

    Will I get a point deduction for this during judging?

    The fiberglass foil covered blanket was dropped some time in 1969 we do not have a definitive date. But since your care does not have the 7 or 8 clips installed to retain the blankets this is a very good indicator that your car did not have the blankets. When I judge a 1969 the clips are my indicator if the car should or should not have the blankets. Also have seen a few cars with the clips installed but they were never bent over to hold the blanket another indicator.

    One question your toe shield is it white plastic or metal gray phosphate and do you also have the metal shield from the toe shield to the cross member?

        My 69, #27963 has white toe shields, black metal shields at the underbody, and no evidence of any underbody insulation. It's an Aug. 69 built convertible.

        It's been judged several times without problems.

          I've owned my mid-September, 1969 built car since it was new. It has the white plastic shields and the flat steel shields extending to the crossmember. It NEVER had any insulation under the shields nor did it ever have any of the retainers for the insulation.
