1963-1967 hood blackout margins

[Charles A.]

I have read the JG and seen some earlier posts on underhood margins but it would be helpful if someone could post or send me pictures showing the correct c-2 hood margins for my 67. I assume they are the same for 63-67. Can send to carnold@coj.net

Check the yellow and black hood photos on my website listed below. They are from an original paint 67 427 produced early in the year, 1967.

Clearly, there was a lot of slop in the placement of the mat (or paint screen?) around the inside of the hood.

Thanks Tom. I need pictures along the sides of the underhood down to the hinge area. Did I miss something at your site or are your pics just the top?

Charles,

Here are a few pictures I took of a 66 or 67 that was parked behind mine at the NCRS Regional Meet in Orlando. This car was an original unrestored extremely low miles car which belongs to one of the main fellows involved with the NCRS. He had recently purchased the car and this was the first event he has taken it to. I took these photo's in order to duplicate my overspray as you are. I hope they help.

Cheers,
Craig

Charles,

Here are some hood blackout pictures of two different 1965 Duntov car taken at the 2008 NCRS National Convention. I have other pictures of a 1964 and 1967 that I will provide in a separate post.

Hope this helps.

That red car was a '66 with something over 10,000 miles.
About as good as it gets for an example of originality.
