The paint color is something you will have to decide. My 65 is painted
Dodge Viper red and the dash, and steerint column is cadillad pearl white.
The orginial white just didnt go witht he door panels. I know its not
original and may detract from the value, but I dont enter shows, just drive
and enjoy it. If i ever sell it, it will need paint again and then the
buyer can decide.
