Charley, what is the finish on the hood hinges? Is there any copper paint on them? What about the springs?

Thanks,

There would be no paint on the hood hinges or springs; they were phosphated, and were attached to the fender long after paint, right after the front clip was bolted to the body.

John,

Thank you for correcting me on the wax info. My friend who was an engineer at Lansing Assembly informed me of the Micro-Poise material after I had put down my information. Thanks again for correcting me!!

Hey Charley,

I'm probably the only one who hasn't congratulated you on your awesome acquisition yet, so way to go!!! (Yes, I'm as jealous as all the rest too)....

Now that I've done some brown-nosing, may I be included in the list of people who seek historical info from your cool ride (or from anyone else who has this info available)? I'm sure you have absolutely nothing else to do...

My question relates to the RS endura nose. I just painted my 73 RS Z and was wondering what finish would be correct for the mounting brackets/tabs inside of the RS nose before installation?

My nose piece (both the rubber and metal sections) was black primer prior to painting, and I purposely let the silver paint fog on to the mounting brackets. Should they have been bare metal (taped off from the factory?)? Primered? Painted body color? Blacked out after body paint?

Any suggestions from you guys???

Thanks in advance!!! Charlie
