In my defense, I am trying to make my 1971 'Cuda look as original as I can and I am kind of new to all this. Are the body plugs painted body color or are they black like they where put in after the car was painted? Thanks ., (O O {]{]{]\|\|[}[}[} O O) 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 440-6 {\|\|O\|\|} 2000 Yamaha V-Max (O O [========= SRT] O O) 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 . Making as big as a carbon footprint as I can!!!
