Default 1964 1/2 Mustang paint markings for show

Can anyone describe or show me pics of where the specific paint markings go for detailing the undercarriage of my Mustang? It's a 1964 1/2 260 v8, 3 speed manual shift, no PS, no AC, and no power brakes. I was wondering about the color paint stripes on the coils, the paint markings on the spindles and front frames, as well as the driveshaft paint stripe(s) and rear leafs. Also, the car was built in Dearborn and has a build date of June 30th 1964. Thanks to all!

Hello. I've been looking around for some pictures that I have somewhere for someone else, and, as yet, have been unable to locate them, but, the coil springs should have a yellow stripe running up and down, the steering stops on the lower control arms should have one splotch on each of them, green on the passenger side, red on the driver's side, the lower control arms should also have a splotch of paint, red on the p/s and green on the d/s, the big generator bracket should have a yellow splotch on the top of it and on the rear, the tie rod ends should have a brown stripe on both of the outer and inners. The drive shaft has two stripes, one white and the other a medium light blue, the rear leaf springs have one white mark a couple of inches long running horizontally on the inboard side, about half-way between the spring perch and the rear shackle on the second leaf from the top. The front spindles have a pink spot on the them, the bell housing has one of those 'OK' stencils in blue on the top, over to the right a little bit.There's a bunch of them. The car's rotation number will be written in yellow on the outboard side of the frame rails, a little forward of the coil springs, but, it isn't the same rotation number as the build sheet has on it. What's written on the car is the number of the car for that shift, as in, 41B, which would be the 41st car built on the second shift of that day. When I finally find those pictures, I'll post them. Please bear in mind that a lot of this stuff isn't known with certainty, supported by documentation, by anyone. This is just what's generally accepted to be right based on observations of a whole bunch of unrestored cars. Getting a car's undercarriage up to speed for trailered/concours, sho-nuff trailer queen standards is a process of dialing it in as you campaign the car on the show circuit and fixing everything that you get dinged for as you go.
