I'm gonna "risk" trying to enclose these two Jaypegs,
below, which I "copied" and sent, from my office today, to my house,
here.
Some people got foot fetishes; I guess I'm 'into' trunk-lids.
I have a LOT of pics of trunks,
interior, and suspension-detail, in my collection.
These two pics (I'll try sending 'em 1-@-a-time, if they're not
enclosed, below) show typical "owner-applied" painting of the trunk
undersides.
The PLY has a very heavy, gross, application of paint; the 58
Dodge was built in L.A.,
& had that gray-ish trunk finish, originally. Note its still-gray pass-side
hood hinge (oops!) ---the Dodge, shows less-obvious paint overspray, around
the trunk stiffeners/supports.
The Dodge example is important, as the trunk's painting-quality
was rather good, & its overspray might have fooled a less-knowledgeable
observer.
If the OEM trunks were painted in this manner (non-masked) ,
then all of our trunks would show overspray dispersion, similar to that as
appears on the Dodge (if not, too, on the PLY.)
The next set of pics I'll send will show OEM-condition
trunk-undersides, with no evidense of any over-spray, including a 57 Fireflite,
with a WHITE trunk (& which "might" just, show evidense of a
small amount of overspray, where the paint escaped "PAST" a
"masking".
Also, please compare the appearance of these car's
"cloudy" overspray patterns, , with the specific/bright/clear/thick
paint-drippings (without evidense of obvious over-spray) on the 56 DeSoto that
I 'sent', a couple days ago,.
So, here goes my 1st attempt @ forwarding 2 Jpegs!!!
