The actual blue we are using for the car, (not the robin egg...lol) The Blue is a Mistsubishi color, it is although very close to the Dodge Blue, and ironically my truck is that dodge blue.

Any input of what I should do with stripes or anthing besides the blue?

It could be cool if you did stripes that were 2 or 3 steps darker blue than the blue on the body.

Some vintage TA pics could give you some stripe ideas, gives me lots of ideas and it really should have a number on the door shouldn't it? :) Looks pretty kick ass at this point.

Iam using the same blue on my 68 and two 12'' shelby stripes in white from front to back.

Yep you hit the head on the nail. It will actually have a couple vintage contingency decals on the fender along with numbers on the doors and corner of the hood.

I do vinyl on the side so it makes that part very easy. In fact I am placing the vinyl on a click type of material so the number etc. will not effect the paint long term. I can remove them at any time.

Downfall of this is I know people locally will be messing with me when I'm not around the car. ex. number will be turned sideways etc.

Gotta love friends....

I really liked this stripe setup, and then I was going to put the number on the front corner of the door, but everyone locally that I showed that to freaked out and told me to build a damn mustang..... lol. And I couldn't figure out anything catchy to put on top of the angle stripe on the fender?

Camera is on the fritz, but I have pretty much have the car ready to go to final paint, with the exceptions of replacing the front springs and the aluminum window clamps and straps.

Hopefully I will have my camera quirks figured out later today.

I really have to say although I took it for a spin around the block and its' the first time having a street car with power. I was overly impressed and close to a bit frightened. The 454 and the torque provided is overwelming and lets just say, tire wear will be an issue :)

I simply love how the front end turned out, a real racey feel.
