Correct Hood Hinge Finish

[RJ_RS_SS_350]

Rich is probably referring to the hood hinge spring, not hood latch spring.

I meant the big spring on the hood itself. Here's a pic I took a couple of days ago of an original paint car. Pic is blurry but you can see the black spring.

Like the blurry photo, on the hood latch springs (not hood hinge springs), I haven't yet seen a survivor car that didn't have the black painted latch spring.

Thats interesting to know.  Ive never noticed that before, but then again, I havent really looked for it.
