I am restoring my 70 GTO Conv and have been finding conflicting info on what colors certain items shoudl be painted. The assembly manual I have shows a diagram of a complete finished chassis with all virtually all items painted chassis black. However, my latest issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines there is a whole article about frame resto for a-bodies and it shows many different colors used for axles, backing plates, steering knuckles, etc. Does anyone know which is correct? I want to do my car as correct as possible and any help would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks! |

The May 2000 issue of Muscle Car Review has a four page article on how to paint the chassis of a '70 GTO. Like your Hemmings article, it mentions many colors such as calipers-gray phosphate, dust shield-silver zinc, axle tubes-detail gray.

I think it depends one what plant your car came from.I'd try to find someone on here or somehow that has a unrestored car that you can ask questions to.I've heard of floors painted brown color,some guys says its body color,others say black.Like I said I think it matters what plant it came from.

This might be a good reference point since they restored a 1970 GTO (Judge) convertible. I hear these guys are pretty good at what they do.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
