following some serious rust repair and a 3 + month of serious upside down investments in this awesome machine (good thing money is a renewable resource) I'm getting closer to actually painting the engine bay of my 1972 RR GTX. The car is going to stay it's factory Torrid red and I'm not sure about the frame rails and the new under hood brake lines. I powdered coated the K Frame and all suspension in satin black (front sway bar in a gun metal gray) and I'm not sure about the following:
-frame rails should be black or Torrid red?
-engine side of inner fenders, cowling, firewall, radiator support and everything in front of radiator support torrid red
-tire side of inner fender wells and inside of front fenders, red or black?
-new brake line that runs along the firewall, red painted installed on the car, red pained off car then installed, or bare stainless?
-brake lines from master to proportioning valve? I'm thinking stainless?
-rear brake line from proportioning valve?

I look forward to the feedback and ideas.

Yes, all those area's red.The tire side at the factory was more or less oversprayed with color, But then, many were undercoated. The brake lines should be installed after the color in the engine bay. Hope that helps.
