66 ngine detailing
« on: June 10, 2010, 10:30:04 AM »
On my Mar 66 Metuchen C-Code Convt.

Does the 2 piece fuel line bracket at water pump get painted blue?
In pictures, I've see the bolt and bracket blue with the m-clip over the line staying it's natural color.

Does the rubber PCV grommet get painted blue?

Does the carb spacer get painted blue?

Thanks

only the bottom 1/2 of the bracket is painted block color. the rest is left natural.
the grommet is unpainted.
and the carb spacer could have some overspray at the base.

Didn't I also read somewhere that blue paint usually found it's way onto the tips of the studs that hold the carb on?

Yes, seen that on Unrestored cars.
