what color for a GT 40

[Bartruff1]

Never saw a more beautiful car than the Originals (101 and 102) White with the dark hood without the stripes....if you want the Shelby Team Look, I favor the originial mettalic Guardsman Blue with the white stripes...the Gulf Cars are perhaps the most recognizable/famous ...but for my taste, the only cars that can wear those colors are the originals...and my name is not Walton..unfortunately

Missed the last couple of days, I was busy passing a kidney stone.

Now back to the fun part,

MK I and I plan on putting meatballs and numbers on it. What number?

I bought a GT 40 last winter and have spend the last seven and half months "Fixing Things" as we say in tha South. It still does not run but I think I have most of the parts and people lined up to cure that. Maybe next month I'll be on the road.

I don't like the Dark Cherry paint and it's a bad paint job.

I love the Gulf colors but RED is really my color, well my Cobra is Yellow but that's another subject.

We have a black Coupe with silver stripes and a GT 40 with Black and silver stripes in the neighborhood, Man do they look good! So I don't want to steal their colors.

So I have been thinking, Black with red stripes, Red with no stripes, Red with black stripes, Red, no stripe but black rocker panel stripes and then there is the Gulf scheme. Hard to get away from that.

Now I will have to admit, the white with blue does look very good.

The only color that does not look good on a GT 40 is dark cherry. Maybe gold and a few other race car only colors.

So help me out. It took 18 months to pick the yellow for my Cobra.

Pictures would help.
