Adams' Apple said: The undersides of both pieces were painted body color. The HOOD got a blackout treatment, but it was sloppy, so body color still shows in areas...like this one...
Since it was getting a blackout paint, the center area of the hood dint have a lot of body color sprayed on to it, but the edges were full color. They would then use a "mask" to spray the black. The mask pretty much amounted to a piece of cardboard held up along the outside edge of the hood....it was not taped off.
The underside of the deck lid is body color, but I have seen them with blackout paint, too....it might have to do with what color the body is as to whether or not it was blacked out. I can't say for sure. I am sure about the hood, tho.
Maybe someone here has an NCRS Judging Guide that can look and see about the deck lid paint.

Nothing definitive on a '69, but my '73-4 Judging Guide says the underside of the deck lid is painted body color, but not as nice as the top-side. No blackout applied at all on it. Also says the latches are painted body color, but not the cable. If that helps.

That looks looks like a Steeroids kit Ben. Was that in the car before the tear down? I love the set up - one of the best mods I've done.

it is a steeroids kit. I added it during the rebuild. In fact I organized a group purchase for 10 of us right here on c3vr about 10 years ago :-)
I kept my original steering system but changed this over during the chassis build.

it is going to take a little longer. Originally the body shop said they would be ready in mid february but he asked me to plan for march 2nd due to a few other projects taking longer than expected. they only do restorations so i dint have to worry about insurance jobs gumming up the works.
