Default Picking a final color is going to give me a stroke!!

I've been debating the final color on my 70 Cuda for a LONG frickin time...must have changed my mind a million times....but its getting to crunch time where its time to shoot color...and I'm struggling to pick. There are so many colors out there that would look bad ass

My theme has always been to be low and mean and still play some tribute to the classic Mopar look. The engine bay will be more raw aluminum and satin paint....my rims are Rushforth rated X with a polished hoop and brushed center (looking back I wish I had done a brushed hoop, but I bought these along time ago and cant afford to eat the cost and buy new rims)..no they aren't really green...




My leading choice is the purple...but never in my life did I think I would be owning a huge purple car...its a bold color choice...not many out there...and it is a Mopar.. the upper right is Plum Crazy which is very washed out and plain compared to the custom purples my painter has come up with



The one I keep going back to is the Ford Ruby Red, which is the one my son wants...doesn't look that great in the pix but you see it on a lot of Ford cars right now. Its more candy apple red..


At SEMA, I loved the color of JF's Acadian.... its more copper orange..


My plan is to do some form of stripe or graphic...nothing fancy or really bold...probably in some form of satin color...at the same time trying to tie in with the wheels


Ben Hermance is going to help me come up with a graphic.... I'm not that artistic...

I'm trying super hard to not look at other colors and make it even harder to choose.....NO BLACK.... had considered a gray/silver...but trying hard to at least narrow it down to 2 colors...
