Default atomic orange

Five weeks away and I will finally have it back it has been a little over a year at shop. I had a hard time picking a color atomic orange is not to wild but not to plain. What do you guys think of this color and all original rs/ss trim on a 68? The 40,000 bill from body shop is a little more than I have so I will need to borrow some to pay the bill. When it comes I can start assembly and save for the hogan intake/exhaust/hydra brake and brake kit since the bear brake kit will not fit new ford rear end. HOPE TO POST FINISHED PICS AUGUST 10TH

Do you have any pictures of the car before you dropped it off at the bodyshop? And, do you have any pictures during the build process?

They installed dse fire wall, dse quadralink, dse coil over, dse subframe connectors, dse mini tubs, used roof, center trunk pan, lower tail pan, roll cage, ford 9", worked on small dents on floor, one lower center dent on sub frame, quarters the old one had many small dings. They supplied all dse parts, roof, ford 9", lower tail pan and I supplied the rest. Lucky it had very little rust. Here are some pic before it left my house and then the shop.

hear is a clear picture. what is fair to ask for on body lines I want to know if I'm being a pain in the ass since I know I can be picky? I have tried my best to make the car top notch and spent my life savings on it.
