Karl,
I know you've made arrangements to do body/paint but I honestly would not touch it if it were mine.

Superb car, just as is. What was that color called in '64 or 65 when new?

Hello, thanks very much for the comments. the current color is close to guardsman blue, CSX2498 was white from the factory and was painted blue before my dad bought it in '69. If you look close at the photos you can see the LR fender flare is damaged and the paint peeled off. also, the aluminum is cracked along the edge of the flare. The old side pipes dented the RH rocker panel and there is a small dent at the lower corner of hte hood. On the trunk lid there is a very small spot where the paint is not properly adhered and has a small bubble about the size of a quarter.

It will be painted guardsman blue again.

regards, karl
