Default 64 Engine compartment.....

At the present time I have the hood off to do some work on a 64 Roadster, by question is this..... What is correct for paint or finish for the area just in front of the radiator on the interior surfaces? Is it the same black as on the engine compartment fender wells or is it body color? Thanks...vetzs

The blackout process that occured throughout the engine compartment used the same paint in the area of your concern.When this process took place the core support had not yet been installed and the entire area was shot at once.
