Default Correct finishes for under hood and suspension.

Looked at a few guides,but they are awful generic.Need to know under hood,inner fenders,cowl and firewall glosses. Also need to know the different finishes for front suspension pieces. If any of you guys know 70s and would be so kind as to take the time to help me I would appreciate it! Like I said before,I'm doing this once and I'm doing it right.

I haven't talked to Ray, rbarnes, in a few weeks but I'll talk to him this weekend and see if he can help. I'm sure the underhood colors/gloss are the same for 69 and 70 and he knows exactly what they should be.

Hey Gary,
Not to confuse you but I thought I'd post this up as another point of reference. http://www.chevelles.com/shop/resto_5.html
