    65 coupe simulated vents

    How are the inside of the simulated vents behide the doors suppose to look? Mine look like painted styrofoam inside ,painted the same color as the body. What is correct? When I open my hood the under side is painted a sort of flat black color,is that correct? or should it be the same color as the body? Thanks,Bob

    Bob -- OK, let me take a kick at this. the 1965 Tech Information Manual and Judging Guide (TIM&JG) says: ..The 4 grilles (vents) are painted body color, but the depressions behind the grilles are painted semi-gloss black, (applied) over body color. [looks like I've got another item to correct ] Not sure about the "styrofoam" texture you describe -- should be just un-sanded fiberglass.

    Now the hood: Again from the TIM&JG; The interior of all hoods, with the exception of the outermost lip, is finished with semi-gloss black blackout paint. The entire lip is painted body color. There's more detailed discussion on the appearance of paint in the area of the hinges in the TIM&JG ... would recommend that you purchase this manual if you don't already have it.
