Thank you, these pictures are very helpful, I can now see why the blue overspray appeared gray, I would never have thought to use gray primer over the black yet under overspray color.

The Original Sub frame bolts and Washer set ups, this is being discussed on the CRG as well as it seems the expensive repro's are not correct.

Original front sub frame to body mounting bolt assembly (68 and EARLY 69... change in the AIM is Sept.
RBW BOLT - lock washer - Spring washer (silver) - Flat Washer which appears to be heat treated steel.

The undercoating was shot at an almost perpendicular angle to the bolt head from about 9. The swath on the back was blocked from the undercoating and subsequently rusted.
The cupped washer was covered however after flexing during removal it flaked off easily.








RAD MOUNT BOLTS - LEFT REPRO RIGHT ORIGINAL







Chambered Exhaust retainer



Original rear fuel line bracket



Original molding clips... they are nice enough to reuse... lol

No, it's a 1973 Michigan plate (the car was from the Flushing, MI area).
