In 1969 Marauder X-100's came with the deck lid and "tunnel" area painted flat black as standard equipment.In 1970 the flat black treatment became an option on X-100 models.If you haven't already been there, you might try the Marauder Message Boards for parts.http://www.mercurymarauder.orghttp://www.mercurymarauder.netGood luck !Brent Quote Selected

been working on car Reply #13 – April 17, 2007, 08:50:52 PM I finally, found time to get everything underneath the car hooked up and now it is off of the ramps, now I just got to take the radiator out, mount the explorer radiator, volvo i/c, plumb some lines with a blow though vam, hook up fuel lines and radiator hoses, and install an electric fan then I can fire it up!One question, what radiator hoses do you use with an explorer radiator?
