Re: Suspension colors?
Joe,
My research shows that the rear ends were painted as an assembly with the backing plates and drums installed. On some survivor cars I have seen, some drums were painted almost entirely black while others had overspray around the back edge. The backing plates were natural on the inside. I believe the lines and junction block were installed after they were painted. On '70 Chevelles, most rearends were painted with the exception of Van Nuys cars. I have seen many of these with an all natural (not gray painted) rearends. JMO Rick
