    Looking at all of the under hood stuff. I want to make sure that when I do it it's done correctly, so I have a few questions.

    1) Black painted stuff - I have used Eastwood's Chassis Black on other projects, would this be the correct color? Is there different shades of black used under the hood? How pickey do they get when you show the car?

    2) Unpainted black parts, fan shroud, GS air cleaner scoops, plastic parts. What is the best way to restore these? Do you paint them? The black needs to be refreshed. I also have a small crack in the shroud, what is the best method to repair it?

    I want to restore this back to the way it was, stock appearing. Has someone ID the parts and the correct paints to use?

    Thanks,

    Rich
