No, the three hole white part in your first picture replaces part 60 (they are both intake manifolds, part 60 is for the carburated version, the other part is for the EFI version, on the real engine, this is cast in aluminum. & is the lower half of the intake, the upper half being the other part in you first picture). I hope this helps, & doesn't confuse you too much.

It might be easier to paint the entire body first then go back and hand paint (with a wide brush) the roof insert area. If I remember correctly, that area is canvas or another type of fabric on the real '32 Fords, so you could even use a flat white if you want that area white. You shouldn't get any brush marks if you use a wide brush, have the paint thinned correctly, and apply the paint quickly. It's a difficult are to mask and spray, while still maintaining a sharp edge between the two colors, but if you use a water-based paint you can wipe off anything you don't like as it's being applied.

So is the white part used with the chrome one? I thought the chrome thing was used by itself. The instruction isn't very clear on this.
