rear vent and black out paint

[Greg H.]

Hi,

I can't understand for sure what should be painted and what is black-out on the rear deck vents. Would someone please post a pic of their correct rear vent?

Thanks,
Greg

Just to plug our sponsor -- there is a picture in the 1970-1972 TIM&JG, but it is in B&W due to cost constraints.

I'll send the Sponsor a color one for the next JG.

The one I sent them was in color, but the contrast between the M Blue and black is not as good as your yellow. I would wager that even in B&W yours would look better.

Hmm.
Not on the agenda in the short term but I'd bet I can do it with one of the cars here now.

I don't think there is any rush. Let's see what opportunities present themselves.

Would you do it in the next hour? I'm in a bit of a rush.

What? You got a plane to catch?

I don't think the 1970-72 TIM&JG will be revised in the next hour or two.

Sorry.
Had to give a lecture at the local college, and didn't get a chance to take the picture.
Now I'm back to actually seeing patients. This "work" thing sure gets in the way of my hobbies...

That being a doctor sure sounds like hard work. Was there much school involved with that?
