60 bird restoration

[jopizz]

I have to disagree with Fuz. I've never had a squarebird with the tar paper painted unless it was a sloppy respray. My '59 has the original brown tar paper in the trunk lid and hood. Of course the hood paper has turned dark over the years due to engine grease and grime. The part of the paper underneath that isn't exposed that I can see definitely looks brownish and not white.

I posted pics of my 2-owner 1960's trunk lid lining on here, sometime last year. It was a tanish-white color.

The underhood lining is a black color.

ours was all original and it was not painted body color it was all black tar paper that i very nicely cut and removed from the hood. and it is an early 60 bird.

i just cut all of the tar paper that i could get to out of the trunk of my new 60 it was bare metal under it and wet and covered with surface rust you can see in the pic link i posted else where that my tar paper was painted white like the car

on my other 60 the tar paper under the hood and the trunk was still the unpainted paper

i was under the impression that if a car had the tar paper under either the hood or the trunk then both of them got it

but on my white 60 the hood doesnt have the paper but the trunk did
