Exactly like what would be on the Boss cars which you are familiar including the same type variations .They went down the same paint line at Dearborn.

The correct slop gray and red oxide would be what was applied on it originally. Color matching a cleaned original surface from your car is the best source for color, tint and tone.  Lacking this a dark grey with a little metallic or none - tinted bluish or greenish will often pass. I've used a VW color as a base and blend from there. . Of course this is for the firewall rearward section of the follow typically. If you look to other cars as examples focus on spring 69 cars built at Dearborn rather than 70 Mustangs ;)

I'm guessing you have already seen this. It might be helpful
