Two thoughts on the color thing.

First, it might be fun to mess with the Tri-Five resto guys heads. Do the car up in Black Widow livery, right down to the 150 side trim, cross flags and Fuel Injection trim pieces. Imagine the fun you can have when they get that ghastly look on their face and say something like ".....you didn't really cut up a real Black Widow to make a gasser didja?" Just grin..............

For a single color, gasser appropriate, I'd go Yellow. To my eye it's a great color for a gasser, and not all that common like red, blue, black,......
The name possibilities are numerous. Just a few for example: Yellow Fever, Lemonade, or Lemon Aid, Lemon Peel (like in peel out), and on and on. If you go with the Lemon theme you could airbrush simulated dimples on the roof to look like a lemon peel (or leave it out in a really good hail storm ).
