Primer Coverage From The Factory 1967

[Keith B.]

Was the underside of the hood sprayed with primer? In addition, I have owned unrestored cars that have demonstrated primer in the engine compartment including primer down the firewall. Do you see primer because it was overspray or was it intentionally sprayed? If so where and how much was actually sprayed.

Keith. I know you are asking about a 67 but my 68 has red primer showing through the black paint where the rubber radiator seal has rubbed off the paint over the years on the underside of the hood.

I stripped the bottom of a 67 427 I once owned and it had full red primer. I also owned a 67 400 air coupe with original paint and it shows primer on the entire bottom...picture attached of it bleeding through.

Bottom two pictures are of my 67 #1866 showing primer from hood cable to floor pan.

Both cars St. Louis built.
