Blackout Front End Paint on AAR Cuda

[Gary AAR]

Looking for confirmation on painting the "Blackout Front End" to make sure I do things right.  Should the front end of my 1970 AAR Cuda be painted black per the "Blackout Front End" technical drawing shown in Technical Services Bulletin resource section?  Body paint color of my car is FC7.
Thanks for help.

Sure would...yup

   Yes, it would look better from the front end if the area was blacked out.

 :iagree:Go with the black out!

I am at this crossroads also.  It is clear that blacking out the parts visible thru the grill is a good move as I have seen pictures of cars that weren't blacked out.  The parts that aren't blacked out show up thru the grill and look bad.  What I am unclear about is the value of blacking out the top of the cowl.  I have seen pictures of cars both ways.  Aside from being totally authentic, is there another aesthetic reason to black out the top of the cowl?

the blackout only applies to certain body colors (eg: TX9 did not get the treatment)

@Gary AAR  Just blacked out my 1970 FC7 Challenger. The factory did it, so I did it too.

This has nothing to do with blackout, but there is some confusion between me and GaryAAR.  I'm getting notices when he is tagged. If I look at my posts some 0f his will show up. It's no big deal but I just want to make sure he's getting his responses.

@Gary  When you start to spell out to user name a box pops up, people are probably clicking the wrong name. Witch would notify you and not him.

@Gary  @Gary AAR  Yup, they are both there.
