    I did mine black to set off the chrome, stainless and aluminum that I have on the car. I also didn't know what the final color was going to be ('07 Mustang GT Venetian Orange)

    Picking a color is the hardest decision we make in building a car. I find myself sitting in traffic looking at every car around me to find cool hot rod colors.

    Being that you have more of a '60's theme going on with your T, you have more choices than if you were doing a '50's themed car. No matter what color you paint your T it will look great. (I've got a gallon of PURPLE that I'm not doing anything with. )

    You know Don, I never thought of it as a "60's theme", I was just building it to my likes and taste....But now that you mention it, I grew up in the 60's so I guess I did, unknowingly, incorporate a lot of that era into my hot rod! Its cool when you get input from others perspective of what your car looks like to them.

    The mags, discs, and tunnel ram sort of put it into the '60's. Like I said, that leaves the door wide open for colors.

    Here are some pictures of similarly styled T's in all colors. (there is even a purple one in there ) No matter what color, they all look good. I'm also starting to like them unchopped for a change.

    Yeah, after reading this thread, I am leaning towards painting the whole car a color. I kinda like Daves idea of painting the frame to match the body, but since I really havent decided on a color yet its proly gonna hafta be a black frame....But ya know, the C5 Corvette has a color called Millenium Yellow that I have always loved!!!!!....Hmmm....
