In my search for the perfect survivor, I found a ’65 BJ8 with under 17K original miles.  All the paperwork and history confirmed the low miles were original.  I spent 5 hours inspecting and photographing the car for an article series I am writing on Concours.  HOWEVER, I discovered the piping under the headlights was metal (and not the grey plastic that we all know to be) just as the rest of the above shroud.  I used my paint meter and found the paint surround a consistent reading (including the aluminum shroud).  I also examined the internal “visible” fasteners connecting the shroud to see if they were replaced or scratched and no such findings. Has anyone come across such an anomaly?
