    Does anyone have drawings or good photos of the black hood-treatment for layout purposes.
    I'd like to know if it lays down from where the flat of the hood begins to bend-up into the bulge portion and if it wraps around the front and rear into the engine compartment, or is taped off at the joint.

    Don't know if these will answer your question or not. If not let me know exactly what you need.

    Thank you, the pics will be helpful.
    Do you know if it was repainted?
    I was under the impression hood treatment had to be slightly flattened (semi/matte finish) to eliminate glare and it was a charcoal color.

    Yes originally it was what I would call a semi-gloss, not quite a flat. Because it not being a gloss, it did have kind of a charcoal color look, but it was the semi-gloss finish that gave it that charcoal color look. Those pictures were taken about 5 years ago when I had started taking it apart to repaint it. A couple of years before that the black being over 30 years old was starting to look pretty bad so I had just taped that part off and did a rattle can job on it.


    I could not find very many pictures showing good views of the hood, but here are a few from 1971 after I bought it and the paint was new. Maybe you can zoom in and tell something your looking for.

    Thank you again. Very cool action shots, it's nice seeing your jeep doing what they do best.
    Today I scrutinized our jeeps hood and found remnants of the original stripe, pictured here:
