Default Re: Detailing rear of 1969 Nova L78

Brian,
You're right, according to the assembly manual concerning the gas tank being painted. I had missed that part in my assembly manual. Looks like they painted it half way towards the front of the car and then up on the sides but not on top. I can see why nobody wants to paint them that way. It would look kind of weird. I'm gonna leave mine bare metal for now. I decided to leave mine bare since I like that look better than a painted tank. Just my personal preference. Thanks for pointing that out to us. That was one of my possible theories on the 239 as being the 239th day of 69. My assembly date is August 69. Any theory why they would put that number on there since the rear axle tube was also dated?
