When painting your cars, what was the original color for the under body area, the back side of fenders, the back side of the hood side panels and the inside floor and cowl?
I have seem them painted black and I have seen them painted the main body color. On my 42 it looks like the cowl was originally a reddish primer under the cowl pad and bare steel up under and behind the dash Any thoughts Thanks

Hinge pins - loose hinges

As I take apart my 42 I noticed the lower hinges are a bit loose at the pin.
The only part that is worn is the center section that pivots I have two options as I see it #1 - I can buy new pins that are .275 in diameter that match the old pins, I can braze up and re-drill the center section one end at a time to the proper size and this will take up any wobble #2- I can buy over sized .340 pins and re-drill the both pieces of the hinge to the correct size Thoughts on either method or a better method would be appreciated Thanks, Jerry

As I strip out all the tar, undercoating off the surfaces of my trunk area on my 42 convertible, I was wondering what was actually on the trunk floor and walls when they let the factory.
Curious what all of you use when you restore your cars inside the trunk area.

Running 288 and transmission - 1948

Complete running 288 engine and transmission. Block is a 1948.
Transmission is set up for am electromatic clutch with the governor and sensors. I drove the car into the garage and just pulled it out. I have no need for a 288 as I am going back to a 282. I can sell just the engine or transmission or as a package deal. Package deal is $850 OBO Only know issue is the water pump needs rebuilt but I think I have an extra I can throw in Located west of Seattle WA.

Spark plug wires, Packard 440 or Packard 330 or?

Just curious as to what was period correct. I searched past post and the internet and really couldn’t find anything.
I’m going to put a new set of plug wires on my 42’ I see a lot of you have used the Packard 440 7mm copper core wire and it seems to be readily available on eBay. I have an old roll of Packard 330 lacquered cloth covered 7mm copper core wire I could use also, but it is pretty stiff. I will probably just use the 440, but before I buy it I would just like to hear your opinions. You input would be appreciated
