Very well restored car Steve, I can see why you are being so 'picky' about badge placement etc. The car looks perfect. I would be scared to drive it man! Don't forget that the bits you can see through the grille were painted black at the factory. In particular the vertical bit in front of the radiator. I HATE seeing restored cars with this bit body color.

Here is the quote from my web site.

"On all colours, except TX9, EB7 and EF8, the flange below the door sill ("downstanding flange") was painted Organasol Black on the outward face of the flange. No overspray was permitted on the bottom side of the sill section.
The front side of the radiator closure panel, below the top support (upper radiator "U" channel) and underneath the hood latch plate was painted Organasol Black except for TX9, EB7 and EF8. Overspray was permitted half way into the inside headlamp area."
