What is the correct paint scheme for the frame, suspension, drive shaft, IRS, and underbody for 1975?

Vette(s): #1-1974 L-48 4spd Cp Med Red Metallic/Black deluxe int w/AC/tilt/tele./p/w-p/b/ Am-Fm/map light National/Regional/Chapter NCRS "Top Flight" #2-1985 Bright Red/Carmine Cp.L-98/auto Member: NCRS, NCRS Texas, Corvette Legends of Texas
Semi-gloss black on the frame, nothing on the drive/half shafts(natural steel), upper & lower front control arms are a different shade of semi-gloss black than the frame. The differential is natural(cast iron), as are the strut rods(steel), and spindle supports(cast iron). The actual underbody of the car should have bare fiberglass...the only places that had any coating/paint were the insides of the fenderwells. Does this help? I can make a "list" of what was painted/natural/undercoated if you need, but this info is also available from the NCRS Judging Guides, as well as other "spec" books...
