Can you elaborate on where you are referring to as bottom of inner fender. As mentioned yesterday, since Ross said fenders were dipped in black primer black would be in the wheel side with some overspray of body color. On another post Ross or another individual had said fenders were placed on a stand at an angle when body color was sprayed. Masking was minimal so there was overspray and probably some skipped areas if the area was kind of hidden. Inside the void or area at the cowl sides I believe is mostly black with more overspray. The engine side inner fender down to frame is body color.

Ultras were engine color so red or turquoise depending on which model Clipper.

Motor mounts I think were engine color but have seen both black and engine color. I believe they were already bolted on the engine and painted as a unit with the engine but I could be wrong.
