  3. Why did guys start this "different color" firewall. I see it a lot in the last couple of years. I still like the firewall body color and the inner fenders body color.Or is this old fashioned bob :(

    Go white, my man - it'll look great.
    When I got my '40 Ford P/U the firewall was black as was the underside of the hood. It was hard to see anything under there so I painted them a light silver/gray. It worked out great. Now when you open the hood everything lights right up.

    this is the stock 56 Ford platinum gray color. The whole car will be this color. It looks off white.

    white undercarriage,white wheel wells, and white firewall/inner fenders.. were all a traditional trend in 1959-60+.

    there's a little oil smudge on it in that photo but i think it reads as clean for the same reason its easy to keep a white car "clean" and hard to keep a black car clean. As for why I painted it white? I guess I never thought about it. i just went to paint it and thought "man white would be bitchen!" and did it haha
