Rich,
I dont know if it will help but I went through the front of
my 39 LaSalle last year and well as I could tell from bits
of old paint. The under side of my hood was black. I painted
the underside of the fenders black also but I dont know if
thats correct or not. Im going through the rear of the car now and I am in the same delemma as you.

Rich, I think you cant go wrong with paintn the under-side of the hood,fenders and firewall body color.
Other wise, you will have to have a demarcation line somewhere.
Hang in there, some one will come-up with the answer.
Good Luck, Jim

Rich, On my 39 LaSalle, the under hood and the inside surface
of the hood sides where painted black. The firewall and any of
the body shell surfaces [ie, the front cab corners, the in side of the rear wheel wells [the body sides] are painted body color.
However ;I have been informed that the inside surfaces of the
fenders are to be black. note: I do not have any of the original
paint left on the inner fenders on my car so I cant verify it.
I hope this is some help.
