It appears many or most restorations ignore this ring altogether and just paint the whole front end body color. I'm going to paint that Ivory border around the grill. My question is what color was inside that Ivory border from the factory. I've seen restorations that painted the area behind the grill Ivory, black and body color. I've looked at a lot of photos and nothing seems definitive to me. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | inside the Bombay Ivory is body color, background of grill always black, like soBill | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 70 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 70 | Okay, thanks. That answers my question, black behind the grill. It looks like two tone was a little different in that you have a red border around the grill instead of the Ivory that would be on a one tone. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,274 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,274 | I have no information whatsoever for you, but I am always pleased to see when someone else cares about these kinds of details!
