I seem to remember the picture being in E-berg's resto topic column. Anyone recall? Yes... Seems to me I recall the car being yellow... Yes, it was a b body Plymouth. So Alaskan TA, It seems there was a Pit. Last edited by formula_s; 06/17/13 08:17 PM.

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. 2010 Challenger R/T 2001 Jeep Cherokee 1970 AAR Cuda 1970 T/A

Dave 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 7747260-Photo06.jpg (164 downloads)

It is roped off with orange snow fence. late in the post. Today they have been filled with debris. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1
