What should be painted?
« on: January 09, 2009 - 10:22:32 AM »
The 73 Cuda is going in for paint.The trunk,engine bay,and underneath are being done first.Trying to think of all the pieces that should be painted.Access covers with or w/o screws,battery tray with or w/o bolts?.Are the muffler hanger plates in the trunk painted?They seem to be chrome now.Can anyone think of anything else?
