65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

I’m disappointed! I went to mount the nice shiny black horns with the correct cad finish bolts when I realized that the whole area behind the grille gets blacked out. When i originally removed the horns, under the mounting nuts was nice white paint. This tells me that They were installed before the area got painted. The washer was still cad plated under the built-in toothed washer but the rest of it was crappy looking black with so-so coverage. I just might wait till the area is blacked out before installing the horns snd using the cad plated bolts. What say the members who are following this my progress? How about you Ulf @65dartcharger since you’ve done that award winning DartCharger - just spray with black paint or get these black phosphate coated

So what does this mean, exactly? Are you saying you're going to paint behind the grille black? I sure wouldn't. I think it looks fantastic like it is.
