Default wheel wells
From the factory, are the wheel wells on a 63' raw fiberglass or painted?

Wayne was there any undercoating applied or was it just black spray paint?

I think the wheel wells were sprayed with undercoating.

The wheel wells were shot with undercoating first (pretty much a narrow stripe about the width of the tire tread), then blacked-out over that; both applications were done in the Paint Shop.
