Been restoring my 69 for a few years now and going to have a few questions along the way as I'm trying to do it correct. I've been stripping the body the last couple of days and there were at least 3 colors the car has been. Factory color was Signal Red which I'm bringing it back to. For what I know for sure the windshield frame is suppose to be the body color and the rear panel is also body color. Now I've been told that sometime in the 69 model year the rear was painted a satin black. Now stripping mine does show the rear was black on top of the red. The rear inner trunk panel is black too. The top color is a burgundy and no back out.
Now on the front of the car and behind the grill is suppose to be black or body color and what about the back side in the engine compartment? My engine compartment was blacked out with some black gooey stuff on top so I couldn't tell for sure. To get the goo off I've got to go directly to metal.
Some 69s also had fender beading between the deck and rear fender. I don't think I'm going to add it if it's suppose to have it. I'm tired of the fender beading. It's on my TR3 and the 250 and can be a pain. Don't know when all these changes were made so if there is someone out that can help I would appreciate it. My commission number is CC29843 L built on 1-1-69.
