Default Help! Turkey Pan and Gasket questions

I'm starting to think of things to do to the car during the winter and I have a few questions that I could use some help with.

First: I've noticed that some people have, what looks to be, a type of weatherstripping around the top of their Turkey Pan (to seal it to the hood when closed). Does this really create a good seal to the hood, or is it more for looks. I have yet to find anyone that sells this "Turkey pan strip". Finish Line even shows one attached to their Turkey Pan in their catalog, but they don't sell it (not even if you buy a pan). Is this something that some folks have made on thier own, or is there a company that sells this? I'm looking at putting my Turkey Pan back on (currently off to clean) and wondered about putting some weatherstripping along the top.

Second: I have an oil leak coming from the top of my oil pan (in the rear). I've never had it off (and I'm not looking forward to it either!) but it would be a good winter project and it needs to be taken care of. Any recommendations on what gasket to use? I have a 1966 427SO and a Canton pan. I do have a windage tray so I've been told to use 2 gaskets(?). I also need to adjust the valve lash and I know there's FelPro valve cover gaskets on there now (375-1632 from Jeg's) and the FelPro's DID leak on me prior to changing them this past spring. These seem OK, but do you guys have any from another mfgr. that you like? Do you guys like Cork? Rubber?? Steel??? Silicone????

Third: I'm thinking about putting a Cobra badge on the trunk lid. Seems like most SPF's don't have the emblem on the trunk. Is there a reason for this? Perhaps the butt is too perky and it doesn't sit flat?? Anyway, what is the proper location for the rear emblem, measuring from the top of the light?

Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions !!
