What color should I choose?

I think you guys are right, I will just let him choose. I will give him options for some stuff, thankfully he trusts my judgement!

As for the engine compartment, he is all for it being matched to the body after I showed him some pics. I am stripping it today, going to try to get the rust repaired and sprayed asap before the weather gets too cold.

He likes the aluminum intake, and thats easy to change if he changes his mind. I glass bead blasted it at work before I was laid off, it turned out super-nice. I found a set of old, but unused, headers on c-list, they are only painted so unfortunately that will be a bit of an eyesore, for now. I really just want it running so we can enjoy it!

Btw, I will be starting a build thread, unless I can get him to join FABO and start it himself!
