64 door latch

[Ralph H.]

Hello all!
Does someone have a picture of the latch end of the door. I am looking to see if the screws that hold the latch were painted or not.
Any help appreciated.

Ralph,

original screws were chrome plated and then painted body color. As the latch was installed before paint.

Re: 64 door latch

I am redoing a '64 and I just pulled out my Judging Guide and it states: Door latch assemblies were in place when the car was painted; however, the visible outer portion was covered leaving the cadmium or zinc plating. Varying amounts of over spray may be evident but the entire assembly should not be painted. The Phillips screws that attched the latch assembly to the door are painted body color. Two unpainted black phosphate round pan-head Phillips screws attach the rear window track to the door. ...

Same answer, just a little more detail on the over spray. Hapy restoring
