Well We have COLOR!
Week #9 update
The C-2 Looks great, Needs time to cure the clear then Much Cut & Buff, 9/32" Stripes, & V top Layout. (*Under the Clear) Not correct but Not an option with my Painter. They Got the Dark Red and Dash red figured out, I Really ! like the Contrast. Did not do White under the Cowl Stripe black out (They were having NONE of that Waste LoL)
They did Say they HATED the "Stripes Unlimited" Stencil Kit as a Total Fail as a product, Real World feedback.

Continued. #9

Very Sweet Brite Color. While I must Confess, for a period or two I considered a color Change, but I think I would have regretted it all the way along and I sure Like ALL most All the 68 Colors this Car needed to be true to its roots.
