1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Last night I started ti glass bead the hood latch, hood stop and the hood opening mecanism. After a couple of hours they looks like new. Tomy surprice I found out that the hood latch is date coded. 49 1 stands for 1964 September week one or week 49 day one. ANy input on this subject?

Started to primer the hood hinges. One is left to glass bead and then the hood will be bolted to the chassi. It starts to look like a car!
