Go the stock color mate dont do what my countrymen do and screw with the O.G style save the candy paint for Impala drivers. You got the 71 hood which is a huge bonus. good luck and keep us all posted. I am putting my 71 coupe back together right now

Yeah, what Ozzy said, keep the original color, that color is awesome!! That way if the jam paint is still ok, you don't have to paint them, just give it a good polishing
