<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Igosplut</div><div class="ubbcode-body">This is not to pick on this car in any way, But I've had quite a few 66 Chevy II and I have two questions. The first is I've never seen the grill blacked out on the top where the rivets are. Is (was) that just on a black SS? And I've seen the chrome, and the body-color type used and I was under the impression the color cap was correct. Beautiful job, and a beautiful car, I was always a sucker for them in black. Although my real envy comes from looking at the perfect trim on that car, finding that stuff is like hitting the lottery (and you'd need it too, to pay for it).

</div></div> That is the original grill to the car. It's been almost 10 year's but I think I can recall there being a slight hint of black on it. I really don't think I would have painted it black for no reason. It could be wrong for all I know.

As far as the gas cap goes Chrome would be correct. When we restored this car we did one in black to because the owner didn't like the chrome one.
