Here's a pic. that maybe someone can help me out with. This bar that I'm pointing at(not sure if they call it a header or rad. tie bar)just above the grille under the hood. It goes from the lh fender to the rh fender. Should it be painted body color like show or in underhood black? The car was repainted along time ago( will be repainted again in a differant color) and I'm not sure if it's correct.

Mine is painted black. Here is a quick engine pic (http://levitanj.home.mindspring.com/elky/motor/eng12.JPG)
But, I have seen the piece painted to match the body color. Both look good to me, but I prefer black.

Black is correct for that piece. It should be a medium gloss black (dupli-color's Semi Gloss black works great IMO)
