I remember the "pit picture". Perhaps not all plants had the pit? Dave

I owned a black AAR Cuda that had the blackout treatment. So I think when you have an assembly line worker just humming along... he paints whatever color vehicle is in front of him. Remember those were engineering graphics that called out what colors did not get the treatment, does not mean the plant followed it. There are many cases of the plant not following the graphics during the build process.

This was one of the sound deadening application "pits" that may have started the theory that the blackout was done like that too IMO.......but was it only sound deadening sprayed there ????
At this point the headlights and grille were already on the body so there is no way they could have done the blackout, maybe farther back down the line but NOT at this point IMO

The pit was real and can be seen in the pictures of the demo of the south st Louis plant. It is roped off with orange snow fence. late in the post.
Today they have been filled with debris.

I can't add anything to the pit debate. But all of my cars have had a spray pattern clearly indicating an upward direction to the spray.

I'm blacking out my 69 Bee trying to decide how much black on the headlight bucket area and saw this old thread. Thought I would show my old St Louis 69 Hemi Charger F8 that was clearly blacked out.

My Windsor built 74 SSP L8 Dark Moonstone Metallic did not have the blackout.
