When it is done you can always stick on temporarily wide black tape to see if
the looks improve.

My wife said the same thing. And since this car is not a keeper, I
seriously thought about resale red since it will be for sale.
But the goal was to see just inexpensively I can do a total restoration
using what I already have.
I had a gallon of paint thanks to Gilroy when he moved from NJ to WA.
And it's tough to get rid of paint so the new owner of this car gets a
1/2 gallon of touch up paint with it ;)
I also used up 3 different primers, my paint cabinet now has room in it.
My parts closet has some space in it now too since I have been digging
out front ends, a tranny, rear springs, seats, interior panels, pedal
box, etc.
Wire wheels because I have a stack and will not use them on any of my
personal cars.
I am going all new on the brake hydraulics, I do not cheap out on brakes
so that's where most of the money is going.
The interior is from a parts car that was perfect, not new but still
fine. and I already cobbled up a dash that looks new.
Now that it's painted, I have some assembly work and a lot of parts bin
searching. I am not sure if I have all that I need, I will find out soon
enough.
I think I will keep the rockers yellow as most of you agreed with me.
I can always paint them black later.
