67 gt500 engine crossmember finish

[Jeb67]

Good afternoon all, could someone please c9nfirm the correct finish or color a 67 gt500 #0210 engine crossmember?

See attached image, is the part under the engine, are the red arrows pointing to the part your asking about?

If so that is the same on a GT350, all were semi-gloss black.  Also, it may have been "dip painted", not spray painted.

Just as a note on what we refer to as dipped in semi-gloss black. This creates a glossier finish that we would find on other brackets or the engine compartment walls. When clean or new they stand out against the other blacks you will find on the car

Likely do but really don't save as many restored cars since just about all of them have something that might not be fully correct and by using them as examples you and others are likely going to see and copy those details as well as others. Every restored car is a representation of what, if the car was even original, the builder/owner saw, maybe documents and made a choice about and so few cars today are on their 1st restoration. Plus there are a ton of pictures to review and go through if that task would be taken up given the vast majority of cars are restored both well and not so well

I know that many would find it useful to have an Easy button - a collection of pictures where each builder would just copy some "reference car". Of course then we would not have cars that reflected what these cars did look like originally but instead cookie cutters of one another. Over the years you could and can see this at shows or on the internet/magazines. To the point on many you could tell who's car they copied - what magazine, month and issue.

A simple no would have been ok Jeff.
Thank you.

Wanted to explain both for your and those watching. Sorry you took offense. Was not meant.
