1962 restoration questions

[Lynn L.]

Was the radiator support on body before paint and thus would have body color overspray? or placed on after paint without over spray on bottom?
The correct material for pose vent fitting was brass or steeL? Thanks for recommendations.

Re: 1962 restoration questions

Interesting questions! Original cars are bare where the support attaches to the inner fender, so they were in for the blackout process. There's also a touch of body color at the top where iit mates to the body. I believe that's where a mask that draped over the support fit poorly. There's also a little bit of blackout paint on the body where the support meets the body. I think that's another mask fit issue at the factory. Second question: the posi tube was steel.
