What a beautiful car! And a great color. Looks like a great day on the beach... except the broken leg
I still feel a little way off, so I haven't really been looking (and Summit red is looking likely) but this stream got me looking... I think my dream color is "medium maroon".
Like what you have done, seems well considered with solutions that are yours. Looking forward to the cowl/dash are repairs and integration. Keep it up.
