I've got the 74 almost ready to be stripped of its very bad non original
paint job and have started trying to figure out a few things about the
original color schemes.
First, my car seems to have some sort of stone-guard-type covering on the
bottom of the rocker panels. It starts below the trim piece and is
currently painted the body color. I was looking at the white car on the
cover of the recent Moss catalog, and it looks like the rocker panels are
black. Is the stoneguard stuff original (maybe a dealer option)? If so,
what is the correct color (body or black) and what's a suitable replacement
material?
Second, the back of the original car is black and the jambs all around seem
to be body color. What color is the jamb around the trunk opening supposed
to be? Is it body color on the sides and black (to match the rear panel) on
the rear edge? Or is the whole thing body color with a masked edge on the
back?
Finally (for now), does anyone have a close up picture showing the rear
panel that they could share? I'm trying to figure out where the correct
edge is for the transition from black to body color should be. I'm sure (as
in most things triumph) that this varied from painting-shift to painting
shift, but want to see use a good example as a guide.
Thanks,
Dwayne
