I have an early 65 (Code date 15B) 5F07C. I'm looking for a source and/or pics so I can get the engine bay details right. Obviously this forum has most of this, but being an "early" I'm looking for the variations.
Examples of info I'm looking for: The MCA rule 3.BB states hood hinge/springs can be painted, but if I went ahead with the PO would it be a deduction?
Are the Shock Tower Caps painted or PO?
The accelerator linkage from the firewall: 3.H states Natural. Would that be bead blast to a bare metal appearance?
Your site is large (which is a good thing). Time gets away from me looking for such details. so I thought it better to just ask.
