How much of the underneath of the car used this besides the frt control arms rear axle? Springs? Hangers, shackles.. I want to get this car close to original..That way if I ever sell it, whoever ends up with it will not have to do as much. I am swaying from stock on the engine-trans, but am saving the originals also. Kevin 71 gtx.....

Most cars didn't have obvious cosmoline on many other parts so the LCAs will likely be your biggest use for it.

As far as black goes for the k-member, as mentioned, cheap gloss black was used that usually blushed a bit making it appear less glossy than modern better quality paints.
