Must have had a real problem (most owners do) spraying all the ugly sealer around the firewall connections and holes
Its only a single little line

Originally the pinch weld black out guy (if done on this car as allot of cars were left with body color rear wheelwells) would have done this with semi-gloss black. Often its overspray (again if done) also streached to the rear frame rail behind the wheel well and to the gas tank drop at the front corners. The black spot on the rear frame rail can also be produced from the guy doing the pinch weld on the rear section behind the wheel since its seen on cars where the rear wheel well was not blacked out. (seen on approx 98% of San Jose cars that I've seen)
While we are on paint.... are any of your rear valance mounting screws (along the top edge) painted body color???

Should they be welded? I know it is not n.o.s exhaust but if i can make it closer to orig.by welding let me know.

Never seen the yellow dotes at San Jose in 66 - the reason I asked
Didn't see allot of black overspray on the frame rails and floor - must be the angle
These might help
