Mike I don't know the code for it I just know the hoods did not have the texture that the restored cars have today. Possibly a flat black lacquer with a hot thinner. I got another question. Who painted the hoods the factory or the sub contractor that built the hoods?



Pretty sure the hoods were painted by the vendor (fixed it, #22)......with;

"2183385 Exterior Air Dry Organsol Paint AF5DX8 Black,"

The hoods were made in Canada in Toronto.

The Hoods were made in Canada, but Creative was the conversion point, did Creative Industries paint the hoods?




Creative Industries didn't have anything to do with the A12's because the A12 package was an option to the base 383 RR and SB and it was mostly additions and deletions to items that were all capable of being installed on the standard assembly line. The only items that didn't or couldn't be put on the normal running assembly line were the carbs, air cleaner, hood pins and the hood/hood pin bezels, and scoop decals....the 440 engine installed just like a 383 or Hemi along with the trans, Dana, brakes, etc. just a few things at the end of the standard assembly line.
