69 Convertible Deck Lid

[Wes G.]

Could someone who owns or has access to an original unmolested or correctly restored 69 convertible post some pictures of the under side of the Deck Lid showing how the various parts of the assembly were finished and how the under side was painted?
Thanks

Re: 69 Convertible Deck Lid

The underside of my 69 still has factory paint on everything but the center handle. I touched it up before judging at the national because I needed every single point for duntov. Forgot to shake the rattle can and the color came out without the metallic. Never noticed that I missed a spot and it's the wrong blue. Hope this helps. Do you need anything specific?

Re: 69 Convertible Deck Lid

Gary, many thanks for taking the time to sent the helpful photos. Being a 'wanna be restorer' I've made some notes after viewing your photos which I hope to use to correct what the previous owners left behind for me. Please review my notes and make corrections or additions as required. (I attempted to add some photos of what I'm trying to correct but for some reason they're not uploading ).
1. Lock Assemblies-originally natural and then poorly painted with body color, some paint on top, some or not on upper side. Was there paint on the lower side? Some paint on teeth.
2. Turning Mechanism-Appreciate a close-up pic to figure out what is black and what is natural (phosphate?). Installed after body paint?
3. Upper rods, clips & bolts-originally natural and then appear painted
4. Lower rods, clips & bolts-appear natural and unpainted. Installed after body paint?
5. Lower Rod Lever & small attaching rod-originally natural and appear unpainted. Installed after body paint?
6. Deck Release levers, spring & bolts-originally natural and then poorly painted with little or no paint under lever bracket.
7. Bumper, Bumper bracket, bolts-black and appear unpainted. Installed after body paint?
8. Hinge Assembly-appreciate another photo showing lower part of assembly. Was the lower unpainted portion of the bracket natural, phosphate or black? Was the back side of the bracket painted? Appears bracket was painted while fastened to lid?
9. Attaching Bolts-all appear to have top of heads painted with varying degrees of paint on sides of heads.
Again many thanks, I appreciate the help.
Wes

Re: 69 Convertible Deck Lid

Which hinge do you want photos of? The actual deck lid hinge?

Again, many thanks! Super photos! They've answered my questions and more. I owe you a 'couple of cool ones'.
One more request, could you check out an earlier post of mine, dated June 1/15, "69 Jack Storage Compartment".
