Blue or Red both look good. The white down the middle really makes it. On my 69, which is light blue, I added the white middle when I painted it several years ago. It really makes them stand out. I voted blue because I just like blue better. Plus it looks good on my 69. Sorry no pics.

Your father would smack you!

How are the stepside fenders you picked up from me working out? Good to see another CPNE on the board .
