Restoration correctness?

I have seen some I thought were factory blackouts but have never been able to confirm it. They sure looked factory, but these cars are so old now, anything is possible. I say do it like you want to. It's your car and it's your labor and money. I always thought they looked good blacked out, but some guys say that's a Chevy thing. I never really gave a **** about all that.

All depended on the body color and grille design. Every B3, B5 or B7 car I have seen was sprayed. The owner of the Hemi B5 RR I have been helping said no way I have owned it since 69. His car was wrecked in the front shortly after he got it and the core replaced. He still has the original core and was glad to show him it is blacked out. He always thought it was dirt!
