    Default 82 Mustang GT Underside of Hood Scoop

    I am restoring an 82 Mustang GT which had been repainted by a prior owner at some point. My question is about the underside of the hood scoop that is visible through the cutout in the hood when the hood is opened - for factory original, should the underside of the hood scoop be body color, black, unfinished, or something else? Thanks in advance.

    Unfinished on my 82 GLX 5.0. Was the same on my good friends 82 GT.

    Kenny, did they have any overspray for when the underside of the hood was painted with the scoop installed?

    Definitely overspray...mine is probably 80% overspray, particularly around the edges from where they paint the underside of the hood. Only in the middle can see that the fiberglass they molded it with was white.

    79 scoop here has plain black underside, black topside, black car.
    When rib was trimmed a bit for air cleaner clearance, was white or light gray underneath the paint.
    Seems to be similar to dash hull plastic or whatever that material is. The stud holes strip and crumble.
    1" thick silver faced fiberglass pad was glued to the whole underside of it from the factory.
