Maybe I'll have the only 1/2 gold, 1/2 white striped black GT/CS car out there. Cut it right down the middle. You won't know unless you're looking at it from behind where the upside down "u" stripe on the trunk is gold on the left and white on the right. How does THAT sit with you?
Well, yeah, you could do it like how the Green Hornet stripes are....but a car this old should have as much that at least looks original, and less modified to represent it well on the road. For instance...you don't want to be places and meet people for the first time and then say...well, the stripes are non-stock, and this and that aren't stock...but...but...it really IS a GT/CS!!
I'm not quite the purist, and I appreciate customization, but as these cars get older, they demand more and more originality put back on them. What if you saw a '56 T-Bird with 70's looking stripes and "stuff" on it. Or a '56 Chevy with a bunch of gold plated stuff on it.... you'd think that the person was a little more into attention, and less into representing the car as it was. There is a fine line between stock, custom and "too much". Just my opinion...
Go with 100% WHITE stripes, Amy... then we do "Project Beige" later....
