Topic: blackout under conv rear seat and front cowl ?

[cjmustangman]

Is the rear floor to be blacked out under the rear seat in a 69 conv
such as is it in this picture ?
also should the entire cowl be blacked out ?
Thanks

Never seen that on an original Mustang convertible

also should the entire cowl be blacked out ?

Depends on when the car was assembled IMHO Early cars were not (just painted black up to the pinchweld on the firewall then shot along the lower edge of the windshield opening) and late cars were painted from firewall to bottom edge of windshield opening from the original cars I've seen built in 69 at Dearborn

Thanks Jeff, I've never seen that before either but thought I would post it and see if anyone else had.
The car I'm restoring is built in Mar so I would think the cowl is blacked out.

Could be a bunch of tar remains or an earlier owner with a rattle can of undercoating or paint-

Agreed with that date
