[Amc-list] Re; Restoring the underside of my 68 AMX

I'm starting to restore the underside of my '68 AMX and wondering what
colors various items (rear end, suspension, etc) were from the factory. 
Does anyone like Eastwood have the correct colors?

I have some documentation that alludes to the running gear such as the
rear axle, suspension and drive shaft would be a semi-gloss black, the 
transmission should be unpainted and the exhaust system for 1968 
could be optional ceramic other wise un-rusted metal for optimum if 
any exhaust system can be un-rusted and still be functional. Shock
absorbers can be red, black or white. The underbody would be body 
color with undercoating if any, would be black.

Is there a source for this type of info?

Unfortunately in all of the years that I have been in the hobby I have
not
seen nor am I aware of any universally accepted publicly available  
publications that chronicle any of this information. The bad part of
this 
is that there is no guidelines to measure how well you have done a 
restoration that has any merit at all, the good part of this, there is 
absolutely no way to measure that you have done it wrong. 
Unless of course you painted everything purple and I believe that would 
not be too well accepted. 
 
As far as who is carrying "correct" colors, semi-gloss black is what 
you are looking for generically and I use Rust-Oleum, 
 
John.
