Restoring front and rear suspension - correct factory colors

The Cuda looks very good - don't get me wrong - but the upper "A" frames were originally dipped in crappy black paint held by the ball joint hole - the dip went to almost the ball joint hole then he tip of the "A" was bare metal. Most people never saw an original "A" frame and because all the crappy black was gone by the time they got it they assumed it was all bare steel.

Also, what is with the red paint on the brake backing plate nuts - I think that may be carrying inspection daubs a bit far. In all it looks very good - I like the color of his lower control arms better than what I get with primer - the original cosmoline coating was kind of sticky when fresh and wore off in a few years.
