Wheel Well Colors 1973 911s
I have gotten two different opinions on this issue, so I am looking for some more information.
I have a 1973 911s Targa that has silver wheel wells, the color of the car. I have been told the wheel wells should be the color of the car, and then also that they should be black. What is the correct color?
Thanks

Ya, I belive starting in 72', however I will only speak for 73' ... the body color was carried into the inside of the wheel wells, engine compartment, and somewhat, in the trunk. Buy the time they got to the trunk the paint got pretty 'abbreviated'. However the 'inner' wheel wells (the surface facing you when you take off the tire) and the engine compartment, started life sprayed with the body color. In fact, if the car had a 2 stage color (like metallics) those areas even had a clear coat. The underside of the car was painted in satin black, and that started about an inch inside the unibody seam at the rocker panels.
Hope this helps
