What I am about to do is replace the engine in my 42, at the same time I want to re-paint the firewall and under hood stuff. The engine paint will be origional (blue/gray) and black on the gen.,starter,intake,draft tube,fan w/pump and pulleys.
My concern is fire wall and inner fenders, if I two tone the truck outside (red cab) (black running boards and fenders) do I also paint the firewall red and inner fenders black? Or is it all one color inside the hood?
