On my 70 convertible, are the screws holding the panel above the guages (which says Corvette) supposed to be silver or black. Also, is the one srew that holds the wiper switch panel to the dask silver or black ?

Re: Screws
Jeff---
As I recall, the machine screws which retain the upper plate are black. However, the 2 sheet metal type screws which retain the heater/defrosting duct to the plate are zinc plated.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -
Re: Screws
My '70 has AC so I don't have the blockoff plate, however the screws going fore / aft are black. The ones going into the side holding the bezel in place are shiney (chrome?). The one going vertically upwards located just to the right of the wiper/washer push button appears to be natural finish - mine has an attached bezel on it (not sure if this is correct however - maybe someone can confirm this). All four in the face of the AC section are black. The two lower ones have an attached washer and the two upper ones are just black painted (or what's left of the black paint on mine).
Since you have a 1970 corvette, I'd also like to invite you to join the 1970 Corvette Registry. I'm attempting to gather production and color statistics - numbers which were lost from the GM Corvette production book. That's why you never see color distribution in the Corvette Black Book or any other references. You can visit the registry online and see all sorts of neat information at our website: http://corvetteforum.net/c3/1970registry or http://www.1970corvetteregistry.org

Re: Screws
Jeff,
I just had a chance to look at my car. 1970 with no A/C. There are three screws that hold the plate in place - all three point up. The two machine screws, one on each side of the switch cover plate, are as Joe stated black (or dark gray, one could consume a lot of beer deciding that one). There is one chrome plated oval head screw in the middle. Typical interior coarse thread. I think that one holds the top of the bezel to the dash.TerryComment
