    Hmmmm.....I think this looks pretty sweet!! I'm not a big fan of the British green but I wouldn't totally rule out white either....I think the white one in your avatar looks pretty good(yes, I know that's the unpainted version but it does give an idea of how it could look in white).

    Didn't read all of the posts but if I may allude to your original question - - - - THAT is a Hot Rod.
    If they can put Jag rearends under US classics and call them Hot Rods then I say that a Farrari
    with an SBC can darned sure be considered one also and what about those VW bugs and
    Anglias/Thames with the big blocks that we are seeing at all the Cruises and Shows?

    BTW, you should be proud cause you did an awesome job there, my man !

    Still got to love the Ferrari red originals! Maybe red with a big gold badge with the Ferrari leaping stallion, or with white oval number plate? With that body style it will hard to go too wrong with any color scheme you have mentioned! Just no purple/pink!
    For some inspiration here is a shell commercial /youtube link of classic f1 racing cars.
