In proceeding with my plan to "raise from the dead" my "72 GS 455 Rag" I was wondering if there is a document(s) that can help identify, ..... say what the color the upper control arms should be painted -- the top of the brake reservior should be "cadmium plated" yet the master left unpainted, is the a/c box left natural, etc -- is there such a publication ? I have a service manual which is no help and I hear the assembly manual doesn't help either -- is there such an item ? As always thanks for your assistance ( ps ) got doors, fenders and new quarters ordered -- decided to do a frame off -- what the heck, why leave money to the kids when I can leave them a car !!
Look at the Sticky threads in the "Chassis Restoration" forum: http://v8buick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20
i printed a copy of a document from the old atlantaspecialties website, 9 years ago that listed what colours the various items were - suspension parts, engine parts, rear housing, etc. i do not know it it is still available. i could probably photocopy it & mail it to u if u wish.
Please do .... .... and thank you very, very much !!! E.J. Generotti 4120 SW 1st Court Plantation, FL 33317-3764
pjj; i found my copy. if ej wants email, go ahead and email him a copy. Actually mail him a copy as i have to mail it from canada to the u.s. and would take a few days extra. tkx
Look at the thread Firewall forward finshes. That is your best bet. Also not every car?year/plant was the same on some things.
