Well I got the white on this last week end on the cab ,doors and fenders and the next step is color. Should get her taped off this week and shoot my color this weekend. Gonna stay with bronze color as it was originally. Hope I like it as would have prefered a more fun color. Then I can start on frame and box.

I'm with Dano.

So, Why is bronze not a "fun" color????

no regrets! if you are not totally sure on the bronze then pick something else you like. The originality would still be there if you picked a color from that year. It would be ashame to finish that beauty to only look at it and say, "Man, I wish I would have painted it a different color!"

Tryin to steel my thinder huh?
That's OK...yours looks like it is coming along quite nice.
I agree that you should paint it what ever color you want. I know mine won't ever be gold again.
I'm thinking black.
