1963 hood paint margin

[Sven C.]

Would someone be able to please comment on my questions regarding the hood paint margin for a 1963 car?

1. Was the body color painted on all four lips of the hood? The judging guide states that the forward margin may be bare fiberglass or have overspray.
2. Did the transition of the body color to the black paint start where the horizontal plane meets the vertical plane?
3. Was the black paint at this transition point fairly straight?
4. Did the weather stripping end at the outboard edge of the hood pins?

I have attached a picture that I think is TFP.

Any and all comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Here is a picture which shows factory installed weatherstrip on an early '63 (#3493). This weatherstrip was cut at an angle. I have no idea if that's typical.
