'57 fuel tank cover

[Wayne G.]

I'm finishing up some work on my '57 and want to confirm a couple of items that I can't find answers to in the JM. Are the screws that hold the fuel tank cover on painted interior color? Also is the shift plate held on to the console with Phillips or Slotted screws?

Thanks,

Wayne

Dave,

I was hoping you would respond! I thought that the tank cover was most likely painted with the screws in place. I bought a console at a swap meet with a really nice 3-Speed shifter plate, but had slotted screws holding it in. I've always seen Phillip screws in those, but I wanted to make sure. As in the past you've always given me good information, especially the great pictures, thank you again.
