    Beautiful Car, 66-I had one and loved it. I really like you Color, wouldn't change a thing.

    I agree with the stock color. Leave it and concentrate on the wheels and tires. A set of polished Torque-Thrust II's would look great, IMO. But I am a big fan of 5-spoke wheels. You could install airbags for a lot less than a paint job.

    It is hard to beat that color on mid-60s boats. However, it does need a little bit of rust removal and a new coat. Jury's still out on the color.

    I put 5-spoke Cragar s/s mags on it about six years ago - wanted to stay with the "classic" wheel look. Sadly, they are already starting to show some age - a little rust here and there. I'm going to try to play with bigger rims/lower profile tires with the software.

    Air bags are a definite possibility - been considering this for a few years. I just like toys......
