I used fender welting too. If you are looking for black I might have enough for another hood. I'll measure how much I have when I get home

You can get fender welting of different colors from this source:

Or, you can pick up any street rod magazine and look for a dealer named Juliano's. They sell seat belts, welting(color matched), and lots of other goodies. :)

hood rubber

I ended up finding some rubber gasket off an old visible gas pump in my tool box that worked perfect-it was some kind of pinch moulding that went around the glass to seal it to the metal body
