Camaro Joe
In reference to your question about the rear panel being blacked out or not, I am re-looking into the issue. After thinking about your question I went back out to the car. The tail is not in the sun and it is hard to tell. When I pulled it out in the desert it sure matched the paint on the car. I rubbed on it and still cannot tell the difference. I think the black would be satin or flat though and it is not. If you look at the pic again you can see what I mean when you try and compare the tail with the lower panel. This color is almost black. I am going to remove a taillight and see what is under there. If it is black I owe you an apology. Did anyone notice ralley sport taillights? Seem born in the car, with wires spliced in rear to make work??

My apologies to Camaro Joe. I stand corrected. I washed the back of the car and took my wife out there to look in the sun(she can actually discern colors)and it was black over blue. The black was rubbing off from many washes and the colors are so close I couldn't tell. It makes sense that it is black though. I will shut up now.

Want to post a picture of the taillights?

Also not all of the SS gas caps were painted black on the Yenko's. Have seen pictures of both.

No apologies needed. The black on the tailpanel was originally pretty shiny, so its likely that it would be similar in sheen to the original blue paint. Don't shut up now... go take some more pics! Would love to see more.
