If someone would make a real top that can come up in 30 seconds and do better that a 40 year old coleman tent it'd be hard (aside the $$$) to not go Sonic or Deep impact Blue with ebony stripes and a Coyote and have a new daily.

Would look good on a Lemans top.

Just thought of something. Keep all your paper work on engine, trans, rear end purchases. My DOT told me to have the bill of sales notarized before sending them in for a VIN.
Be sure you have a serial number on all parts that apply.
The more information on the bill of sale the better.
After building the car for a year or so, it is nearly impossible to call up and get the paper work you need.

Damn, never even thought of that, thanks.

Killer. You're going to have a lot of fun. I've been to Denbeste Motorsports a few times for Bill's BBQ. You can literally pick a Cobra off one wall, and an engine off the other. He owns the Carroll Shelby Engine Company and casts aluminum blocks for a wide choice of engines..

And now I have to think about color. I've been scouring the web for color ideas. I had initially thought I'd do a really deep, dark green with a dark gray stripe, but the wife shot that down. The traditional blue is nice, but I would hate to get in the wrong car after a meet. There are some nice reds out there too. Opinions?

Just some that I've seen and like

I wonder what the shelby pearl white and sonic blue stripes would look like.

I really liked the orange that you could get on the c6 corvettes. Also love that dark blue that was on the 2020ish ford trucks, "denim blue" or something like that?

That red is stunning. That's got to be a pricey paint job.

The gray with blue stripes is kinda reminding me of a fighter jet for some reason.

This is kind of like picking out a dress for your supermodel wife to wear.

late to the party but I did see one of these a while back that had a coyote and whatever they did with the intake looked like it had 8 velocity stacks like on an old carb setup that I thought went really well with the retro styling

I want to build one of these some day. Something about one of these kits with a coyote and 19" low pro/wide tires.

Mmmmmmmmmm
