68 Road Runner grille blackout - 06/18/09 02:04 AM

Hey Guys,

Anyone have some good pics of the blackout area behind the grille on a 1968 Road Runner? I just painted my Road Runner and the next thing is the grille blackout treatment. Pics to follow on the paint. Thanks.

Cheers

Basically, the assembly line guy just reached in through the grille opening and sprayed the area quickly. They're all a little different.

If you look closely at my first picture (left side) you can see where they painted right through the headlight opening.
