[Spridgets] Concours question - Paint colour on bottom side of floor pans, boot, etc.

[Kitterer Bob]

Jeff,

For bugeyes the only body parts that are not body color is the  
radiator mount and frame ends forward of the radiator mount.  These  
were painted  black.  I have heard that on some cars the frame ends  
were also body color but  I do not have a reference however.
