Now, I'm kinda thinking about how it would look with a white stripe and a white hardtop.

Well, if he had listened to you, Alexander Graham Bell may never have invented the light bulb.

And Patrick did listen to you about changing his Trigo wheel color and he wasted all that time, effort and money and he still has a beige ERA with two roll bars.

I think it MIGHT give Allen's car an English Road Rallye look to it.

That's because Sheldon is henpecked-those foam bars will never come off.
And I told Edison when we were walking to school together to invent a flourescent light-NOT a stupid incandescent...
Allen has already achieved perfection (except for puking stub axles with a tiny motor) and CAN NOT tamper with the ill-advised cosmetic whims of others.
Especially yellow 540 Vette owners...

Yes.

Allen, please don't do that. I think it might turn your cool vintage theme into some sort of historical nancy-boy look.

Or just delete the yellow stripe and leave the left unchanged. I still like that idea too.

My masculinity took a hit on that one, but I'll defend the honor of all the "historical nancy-boy's" out there.

Allen's car has gone through a mechanical metamorphosis. And now he's thinking about changing the exterior. So, Allen has asked us for opinions, even from a "historical nancy-boy" like me.

I'm sure he hates my suggestion too, but I used to be a Sunbeam Tiger owner. And IIRC, the Sunbeam Tiger's factory HT was typically painted black no matter what the color. And I know a few Sunbeam Tiger race cars came with white hardtops.
