First off you paint it like you don't care. Your beyond that. Different option cars got different black out treatment. Spring , anti sway bar master cylinder lower control arms transmission natural.I spray,with cast blast. what are the detail of your car. others and myself will let you know.

For any serious restoration one of the best references are the Dave Wise books.
They are used by the judges at most all Mopar, major judged car shows.
Great, detailed info with pictures.
I would recommend at east these books.
"E body 1970-74 Reference Compendium "
"Restoration and Judging Guidelines Compendium"
They have more books as well.
Expensive but are a life investment you will use for many years to come.
Most are on sale right now.
