Both are the colors I would have gone with. I think the Pewter makes the car look tough. I have a special paint combo lingering in my head for paint on my 71. What would you think of the Corvette LeMans blue and carbon fiber stripes? I have to sell the ides to the wife. However I think it's a cool combo.

if you can get it to look exactly like the orange one but with the ugly stripe and get everything else in chrome then go for it! stunning car.

Yea I am kinda leaning away from the stripes. I am going to do tangelo pearl which is much brighter than the pic posted and I am going to do blackbird style stripes down the sides of the cowl hood in gloss black and black centered tt2s
