Lifetime MemberAs many others have said you have to make it your car and only you can make the decision. I painted my car a custom color but then mine was not even close to the original color. If the cracks in the body are bad then you may not have a choice but if they are not real bad I agree with others I would keep the original paint on it.

Thanks for all the replies and kind words. Yesterday I went in the garage and waxed the old girl. And you know what for 42 years old the paint looks pretty damn good. I think I'll just leave it alone and enjoy it.

Vette(s): 1974 coupe. 350 CID with Turbo 400 trans. Decal says 8.5:1 compression. Needs paint and AC replaced but don't plan on full restoration. Car runs strong. No big problems so far. 67,000 miles on Odometer, probably rolled over
I can't add much except to say that is a truly awesome looking Corvette.
It has been over a year since I started. I had to quit the project so
the car just sat in the garage. I was able to get started again in May 2012. As of July 27 2012 I have done the fiberglass repairs and applied Slick Sand High Build Primer.
