The Hood to Radiator Support Seal is an OE-style engine bay sealing component designed for 1968–1970 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body vehicles. This seal installs along the top edge of the radiator support, sealing against the underside of the hood to restore factory-correct airflow control and engine compartment appearance. It is a critical detail for classic Mopar muscle car restoration parts projects where originality, proper fit, and correct underhood layout are expected.
From the factory, Chrysler engineered this seal to close the gap between the hood and radiator support, forcing incoming air through the radiator core rather than allowing it to escape over the top of the support. Over time, original seals commonly dry out, crack, compress, or go missing during front-end repairs, repainting, or radiator service. When the seal deteriorates, airflow management and factory appearance are compromised. Replacing the seal restores the correct hood-to-support interface as originally designed.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this hood to radiator support seal matches original factory dimensions, profile, and flexibility used on late-1960s B-Body platforms. The material is formed to follow the contour of the radiator support and seat evenly against the hood when closed. Accurate reproduction is especially important on B-Body vehicles, where correct airflow routing contributes to proper cooling system performance and underhood presentation.
This seal is suitable for stock restorations, engine bay detailing, and front-end refurbishment projects. It complements original-style radiators, core supports, and front sheet metal, helping return the engine compartment to a factory-correct configuration.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this hood to radiator support seal is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable restoration solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct results.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
