  How were the grounding studs on the firewall treated? Painted body color? Masked and plain steel or plated?
This is for a ‘38 Standard Tudor.
Thanks!

  In 1939 and 1940 (at least) the studs were masked. With that "mask" there was a washer of sorts placed directly next to the dash panel. Thus, NO paint on the stud(s) and likewise, no paint surrounding the stud on the sheet metal.

  What does the “mask” look like? Edit: I guess you mean the studs were masked off before the firewall was painted. Duh
