[/ QUOTE ] If you mean the underside finish, it isn't faded, that's all the original assembly line white paint overspray on the red oxide e-coat primer. I will probably try to match the finish somehow on the under trunk area as we have to replace the bottom of the trunk floor and may end up painting the underside panel up to the upper rear dif area bulkhead. I guess we'll have to prime it and then fog in some white overspray to match.

Re: 72 T/A progess
No, it's a little too far gone to keep in its present shape, so I'll be repainting the jack base as soon as I can find the correct color. The guys on the Pontiac website tend to use Ford Dark Blue engine paint but there's got to be an exact match out there somewhere. Anyone know what the correct paint color is?

Re: 72 T/A progess
What we ended up doing on the black 69 Z was using cosmoline, boeshield, or the like on the underside to keep the rust at bay and just left the finishes as found, (we were going for as much originality as possible) I did not want to shoot any paint on the chassis at all, felt like it would detract from the vintage look and feel of the car.
If I were having to replace metal... I would keep as much as possible in the original finish then spot in just like you are talking about... I think that is the way to go... Keep up the good work Steve... James

Re: 72 T/A progess
You gotta improvise, adapt, and overcome. Never take no for an answer: I just try to think out of the box (or fish tank as it may be) That's how I ended up using the wife's Abdominizer 5000 as a frame stand, an aquarium heater to warm up the derusting fluid, my kids to finger paint the original paint daubs back on the rear differential....
