Wow, you have a highly optioned, very desireable 300. Keep us posted on all of the progress. Good luck.

I always think..don’t just tell me, show it to me. Here is my ‘68 300, all original paint under the hood. I believe the black marks on the paint under the wiring are probably from acid from original unsealed batteries.

I scrapped a good number of slabs to build the Boab..
Here the left inner half is painted body color BUT I assume was painted ON the car based on the Black facing the firewall..
Outside half that bolts to wheel lip of fender is black..look vewy closely....heh heh heh..

Here is another example..poor but makes a point.
The two halves...big inner, green body color.
Small outer that bolts to wheel lip although rusty shows hints of black or not painted at all!

Thanks for all your comments on this. I have the answer, and it is that my description of this piece was somewhat convoluted. This is the thin shield that goes between the inner fender (engine compartment) and the tire and wheel assembly. I really do not know what the correct name for it is, splash guard ? My inner fenders (in the engine bay) are painted the same as the body color. These are black and will stay black. Thanks again!

If you are speaking of the splash guards they are black rubber and you can obtain them from Detroit Muscle Tech. If you need a photo I can take one, i replaced mine and they were a perfect fit from them.

Your description was perfectly clear, especially with the photo you provided.

I'm not sure why some of us are having such a difficult time processing your request.

I got it. I posted a few extra times for those who are having difficulty.
