68tols400: I saw your one car painted in Aleutian. (beautiful!) What color was it originally? And you placed 400 badging to "clone" it. (I do love the hood scoops versus the standard 350 hood. ) Question: Do you regret changing the color or the hood on your cars?
My Aleutian 'vert is wearing her original color. White top, teal interior too. It gets the most attention of all my cars. I put 400 hood and emblems on her, but I kept the original hood so it could always go back. But the 400 hood adds just SO much to the looks of the car. My wife drives that one, and I get to every now and then if I'm good.
I have had my Flambeau 'vert for three years now and have no intention of selling any time soon. My original intention was to redo her in her original color, but I'm now toying with going with Aegena Blue. That blue looks sharp with the white top. But I have another four or five months to decide. Might see what Jim's car looks like before I completely change my mind. (unless he changes his)
I still say as long as you change or replace things with 'correct' '68 parts, you will be fine when it comes to resale. (Unless you are doing a 100 point show car resto or something) Drivers will generally pull good $$ regardless.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
