A question for Jairus

[Guest]

Which color did you paint the firewall on your 48 Chevy, Ivory or maroon? Beautiful build btw.

Well, that pretty much answers that!

All I see is a red x.

Black. Flat black.

All the photos I could find regarding that era of Chevrolet showed the entire engine compartment to be painted various shades of flat black. Only color present... the engine block and maybe a couple of decals.

Google images can provide a wealth of info.

Could be... not sure. I just remember seeing someone's car painted like that back in '74 and liked the combination. The Ivory is a standard Model Master color but the Maroon I custom mixed.

The separation line however is a standard break line for a two-tone paint on a 1946-48 Chevrolets.
