C-2 Underside metal parts color?

[Kurt K.]

I am having my car plastic blasted and the blaster has blasted the underside of the body as well as the fenderwells. Boy, it came out nice and clean. My question is, what color were the brackets?? I saw black on the birdcage rocker rails, what about the seat supports, body mount supports and that strap in front of the fuel tank?? Thanks Guys.. Kurt

Kurt,
The bird gage is green phosphate, this includes the rails over the side frame rails. The body mounts are semi flat/gloss black painted prior to aluminum rivet to body. The lower long seat mounts on AO Smith are green phosphate and on St Louis are generally black. The hat section in front of the tank is also black. Battery box brkts are black. Note the aluminum rivets all are natural. Bottom fiberglass is natural except for overspray areas.

Gene, What about the plates in the rear fender wells above the tires and the plates where the seat belt cables attach to? Thanks, Kurt

Kurt,
The brackets in the rear fender well are painted black and the seat belt brackets attached on the outboard ends are painted black. The seat belt plates are the inboard ends are natural steel, about 1/4" thick.
