What would you do?

I started to multiple quote this thread but I got lost in the shuffle. I have the same dilemma as you. I don't know what color to paint my car. When I had my engine out for building I just couldn't see putting the new engine in the old crusty compartment so I sanded, primed , and painted it black (thinking I might paint the car black) Wrong! I have received so much grief from all Mopar guys because the engine compartments look the best body color. Regardless of the color I paint the exterior, I will have the engine compartment repainted anyway. If you are planning to repaint the outside, leave the underhood just like it is. You can change it all when you have the engine out. I am not a big fan of high impact colors on early A's. It doesn't look right. Good luck my friend. tmm
