<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I do not know the cut off # but I do know early cars had black engine bays. 40 years ago when I painted my engine bay I painted it black because I never knew what color I would eventually paint my car. We talked about how early cars were black, not mine. So today, my non concourse car is Blue over/white with a black engine bay. Some day I'll pull the engine and paint it the correct Blue.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Ira Erbs<br>Portland, OR<br> _______ _______<br> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)<br> (_________________________)<br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
