chrome side vents
Gettting ready to paint my 71 and have seen the vents on the front sides both done in chrome and a mixture of paint on the inside and a chrome on the outside edge. What is the correct way?

The whole face was chromed and then painted with the edges masked to later reveal the chrome. Some years have chrome revealed on both the vertical and horizontal edges. Some don't. Someone here will tell you what's right for a 71.

This pic is probably not much help since it is on my 72.
Your question has come up before and as stated above there is a slight variation to each model year.
