65 battery panel a/c car ?

[Tom S.]

What should the finish inside the fenderwell look like,under the hood? Mine is quite rough and the strands of fiberglass are visible. Is this the way it should be or is this some sort of replacement?Thanks Tom

What do you you mean by "Visible Strands"? Could you post a pic?
The blackout should be somewhat rough, kinda like an unsanded primer finish.
No, the molded fiberglas should be rather smooth plus the blackout coverage means the strands should not be visible.
However, if the panel is hand laid, that would be a different story altogether.

Sounds like a hand laid reproduction. Pictures?

Thanks for the pic. Mine I believe is a hand laid replica. It is painted black but the finish is rough. I will get one to replace it when I get a chance. Thanks again. Tom

Hey -- that's off my 396. One of about 6 pics I took, showing various details of interest.

I didn't remember where it came from, but I do remember discussing the patch.
