Greetings -
It's your car - fix it up the way it would make you happy. Unless you
plan on showing it in shows where originallity counts, it really doesn't
matter. My 79B was originally Brooklands Green - too light and too
yellow for my taste. I repainted it Dark BRG Metallic - in certain
lighting conditions, it looks almost black. Hey, the color was for me!
Well, I took it to the Fall Texas GOF last month in College Station.
Took first place in its class. Others must have liked the color also,
and not worried much about the metallic addition. So, not much is
sacrilegious.
Good luck - hope to see some pictures when it's finished.
