Two things...I wish I'd have kept single exhaust and I wish I hadn't painted the bottom body color.

The same goes for the body colored underside. I had to make a quick decision and I chose body color instead of primer/overspray.

Yes, you are wrong. However, the correct color would depend on which plant your car was built at. Los Angeles cars had a VERY dark gray (almost black) dip coating (not really primer, but a corrosion preventative dip) and other plants used the same product but it was an elephant gray color.

Keep in mind that this is a "general" statement, we still haven't discussed the year of the GG1 car, but since that color was used from 66-68 the statements I made in my previous post would be accurate to (at least) those years.
