1965-1966 side grill blackout

[Bill C.]

Hi,
I cannot find any reference to what is correct here, the 1965 and 1966 cars have side fender grills that when installed have the rearmost grill opening bonded to the side of the firewall, The amount of firewall showing from the overlap of the fender will show to varying degree's.

My question is, is the amount of side firewall showing blacked out after body paint at the factory, or just left as is with body color?

Thanks!

There was no external blackout for that condition; they were what they were.
