I have owned a bunch of '70 e-bodies and would have guessed the cowl blackout came after paint since there were blackout runs over the body color... Or, is this just a TA/AAR deal?

This is a great thread. Just wanted to clarify, the lower area in the pic that Troy posted where the rear bumper mounts...should it be black also? It seems to be based on the photo. Thanks, Joe 65 Barracuda 70 Challenger

Also, is there a compilation similar to Barry's disc for AAR's? I'm about to put mine up on an overturning fixture, so I want to start planning.

My car has had one repaint in the 70's but they just masked off the stripes and did a quicky. 5866834-TA1.jpg (426 downloads)
