Default Need help painting hood jambs

Howdy ya'll,
I'm starting to prime the jambs on my '73 vette (paint project) and I was wondering if someone could show me a pic of under the hood that has the color/black in the original position. I need to tape off the underside to spray the hood jamb/edges underneath and I don't know where to run the tape line.

So if I could get a pic of the underside of the hood and also the top of the firewall at one end or the other it would be much appreciated.

thanks.

Here's how the factory body color/underhood blackout separation was done from '53-'67; I believe C3's were similar.
