Steve,
Thanks for the insight upon the lower cowl area that is usually neglected during paint jobs. I have searched that area of the lower firewall behind the motor and have been unable to determine that information. I have found that the firewall has been repainted to a gloss black while the remaining car was painted the Egyptian Sand color. The car has also been poorly undercoated (over all dirt and sand on the undercarriage) as well.
I have attempted to review all places that include the "gold under paint". I have included another photo that displays the gold paint under the trunk hinges that was found after it was removed during the recent Hollywood filming (and repairs). I have found this gold paint on the hood bumpers, wheel rims, and trunk/hinges.
As for additional photos, I have approximately 60 photos provided to me from Volo Auto Museum at time of purchase. I have also many photos that were taken during filming also. Please let me know if anyone would like to see them as well.
She looks good on the inside and out...... All I want to do it not do anything to her that would "destroy" such a wonderful car and take away from her lineage/history.
