Default 73 Convertible Deck Paint Questions
On my 73 convertible, should the underside of the deck-lid be painted body color?...or unpainted?

Also, the part of the hinge to which the deck-lid attaches,..is it body color? Or semi-gloss black? Or what?

Thanks!

It's 2 years newer, but I doubt that much changed in production. This is the underside of an orginal lid. Hope this is of help.
