Also I've owned two fixed fan cars over the years and I was under the believe the spacer was painted but I don't know this for a fact so just look into this for your restoration.

When you showed the hood catch and two bolts I hope you know that should be body color. It was painted bolted on the hood originally.

Ron,
I would have to say that the spacer was supposed to be natural as there was black paint and the stamping "ENGINE SIDE" under where the spacer was on the fan. If it was painted together, it would have been bare metal under there with the stamping.
Brian, just saw this thread linked from DC.com. I dont get here much but holy cow! You are working wonders on that car! The trunk seal thing is over the top! :headbang:
......Still a long way to go but at least we are moving forward at a excellent pace.
