The black hood treatment was called a "Shadow Mask" hood option, and was actually a "satin" finish that could be polished or waxed.
Sorry, didn't mean to steal the thread.
Eeekk! I would nevverrr wax or polish it lol, well then again i guess thats because were super careful considering how much it would cost to re-do the hood. Good history, Didn't know they called it a Shadow Mask though. Sounds pretty cool haha
And uhhh so i dont feel bad about offtopic... Cool car.. again lol..
