Re: '70 Cowl tag rivets and attachment
 

I agree with the tag first, my original paint car has Hugger Orange on the tag I think from the overspray in the cowl area.

If Camaros are the same as Chevelles, the area was brushed with zinc dichromate due to the dissimilar metals where the tag attaches to the cowl. The tag was then applied, rivet holes caulked in most cases, body color was painted and then the firewall and cowl were blacked out.

You mean like this zink chromate on Gardy's Nova ?
Also note the absence of caulk in the ribbet holes. It looks like the only paint under this tag is the brushed on Zink Chromate.
