Not sure if it should be gloss or satin black. Any suggestions? Thanks, Carl "It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar!" 1969 Charger R/T 440 1969 Road Runner 383 1970 Cuda 440

Would you say the headlight components and latch parts should be gloss black too? Thats a great picture!

I agree the frame should be cheap gloss black( almost a satin black by todays standards) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.447159985343058.104227.408528952539495&type=1

Surprised to see the vacuum pods and bars were grey, was about to do mine in black. Thanks, Carl "It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar!" 1969 Charger R/T 440 1969 Road Runner 383 1970 Cuda 440

Thanks, Carl I've seen some NOS pods and there were a real dark grey color,,in some pics they look black As for the bars, I personally think they were either plated( color unknown) or left bare steel. I was after durability more so than 100% correctness
