Your idea is perfect, or white with blue racing stripes.

Find the EXACT color code it was painted from the factory and use that color. Original cars are always worth more.

And do be sure to get the EXACT color code. I jsut posted in the Daily Blog for March 10, 2010 how my Torino's Wimbledon White was mixed twice and came out different.. turns out the geniuses at Fard changed the code for Wimbledon White in the 70's.... so make sure you get the right color!

im sorry but racing stripes are... for the birds.

i do however like flat black on any car.

are you planing on selling it, if not i wouldnt paint it factory.

i dont understand why someone would put all his/her time into something for someone else to enjoy.
