    I’m guessing red! (But I just dig reds and purples together?…)

    I'm stumped. I figured it would be chrome and the car color.

    I admire people who get color theory and what compliments what.

    Here's some colors for you all to ponder...

    I love to study 50's car show pics, especially the few that are in color!

    Not a car show and not a 32, but one of my favorites.

    It's going to look great if it's lavender, maybe off white pearl, silver, etc.
    Only thinking a warmer color could set the motor up to be a little more "seen"
