This is the sheet metal cover for the TH 400 tranny that provides access to the flywheel and torque converter at the bottom of the bell housing.

Was it bare metal or painted? If painted, what color was it?

Mine is semi gloss black, with Pontiac metalic light blue oversray and engine oil and transmission fluid highlights...with a little road dirt here and there, just for texture.

I can picture that. Mine also has numerous small dents I pounded out before I sand blasted it.

Thanks, everyone. I should be pulling the car off the roller skates tomorrow to get it running this weekend and want to knock off all the under car work while I have the nice ground clearance.
