74 Engine Compartment
I am restoring a 74 corvette, I repainted it last winter and it came out great! I am detailing the engine compartment and want to get it looking original. The black on the back of the hood in particular. The car was repainted before so I'm not sure if the masking is original. Looking for pictures of the back of the hood from an original 74. Thanks!

Google can be a crapshoot when it comes to details. You may find pictures of the backs of hoods, but who says they are correct?
If you do not have a definitive picture by this evening, I'll snap a picture of my original paint '75 hood. Masking should have been the same.

Here are a few pictures. You can see the blackout was done pretty sloppily. The lines are not very straight and there are many misses. Let me know if you would like a specific area of the hood.
