Air grabber screens

[RallyeGreen]

What color were the hood screens on 69 air grabber RR? We have the originals and they seem to be orange and never fooled with. I seen somewhere before that someone said they were red? Just curious, trying to learn everything I can to make this car right.

They were red originally!

non functional hood = black covers
functional hood without performance hood paint = black screens
functional hood with performance hood paint = 30 deg gloss red


info from Paul Herd restoration guide.

It is a functional hood, with no stripes on the hood. I have seen them without the performance hood and painted red before. I like the red myself lol. Thanks for the info guys!

and if no performance hood, the housings are painted black or body color? (rallye green)

The housings are always body color without the stripes.

I have a buddy with an original unrestored HEMI GTX with no stripes and his air grabber screens are black.
