Red. The only things on the chassis that would not have been totally red would be the glass (gauge faces and light lenses), the electrical connections (VR/ cutout and starter, plug wires), and the rubber on the steering wheel, all of which were masked off, if the steering wheel was even attached as the chassis went thhrough the paint line).
