can anyone provide info on taping area in center of hood between power bulges in black? is it a rectangle? is it satin black? any photos available? thanks

heres a pic of mine

The line across the back is straight but the front one has a bit of a point to it so it`s not a rectangle.

Hope this helps

The front basically follows the contour of the leading edge of the hood, and of the front "scoop" contours. The rear is a straight line, which follows the rear "scoop" contours.
If you lay it out with 1.5" or so masking tape to get a reference, you'll be able to see it.
It's actually a pentastar shape.

What is the distance from the back of the hood to the front point of the blackout? I was going to ask from the front but wasnt sure of a good point to measure from due to the curvature of the front of the hood.

I have some pretty detailed pictures of an untouched hood blackout. I'll dig them up for you.

These numbers are measured off an original 68 Road Runner with the Performance Hood Treatment option. The rear of the blackout starts at 2" from the back of the hood as measured from the middle. The forward "peak" of the blackout will measure 32.25" from the same rear of the hood reference. I have measured a few different hoods while reseaching my 68 Runner and the numbers only vary about 1/8". The scoops get painted black and underneath the scoops they had the paint line split across the outer holes.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for stealing the thread, Would this be coded on the fender tag, I have a St Louis 68 GTX.
I know some assemlbly plants didnt code this option only if it was deleted.

hopefully these pictures combined with Jim's measurements will help you out!

The black is a bit faded from 40 years of sun haha.

THANKSS!
