My question is....on a 1965 442 built in California....was the “Top Hat” oil cover painted black or was it Silver Zinc plated?

The same question for the Power Steering Cap....was it painted black or Silver Zinc Plated. I see them both ways....again this is a California Built 1965 442.

Thank you,

Top hat should be black. Brake MC cover should be zinc dichromate.

Is there anyone out there making the K20 Labels?

Made the K20 and QW labels myself. Pretty easy to do.

These clips were used on the Fremont Buick’s and Oldsmobiles. Inner fender clips holding down the cable and harness.

Thank you, I am very familiar with the inner fender clips....as I restore and own Buick’s too.

Fusick bronze. Best matching paint. I used it on both my cars. The first pic I posted is Fusick bronze.

Jason,

Fusick Bronze it will be.....your engine bay looks Fantastic.

It is great when car guys reach out and help other car guys....this is what attracted me to this hobby of ours 40 years ago....I am glad it is still attracting me to this day.

Thank you Jason.
