A bit off topic, but this reminds me of my 1970 442 W-30. The previous owner apparently did not like the inner wheel wells on the front of the car so he spray painted them black, and spray painted them black some more.
I peeled the paint off of them the first day I had the car, nothing I liked more on a W-30 than letting others see those red inner wheel wells.
A year later it was running 11.4's at the track ( ele. 2130) in almost legal street trim. open headers arent legal on the street around this town, don't ask how I know, LOL. $$ka-ching$$
