Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[SS427]

I had installed the heater box cover several days ago and it again kept me awake. I used some grey rope caulking identical to what was originally used but was very unhappy with the results as they just did not match the original so I pulled the cover back off and this time used a tube latex caulk putting an excess on so that it would ooze out like the original. The old caulk looks black due to oil and dirt contamination but is very much grey when looking at the back of the original cover where it was protected. The new caulk looks white in the photo due to the flash but is actually a darker grey. With a little drying time it will match the original perfectly. This time it worked and I will be able to sleep tonight.
