For those who LOVE the look of a car and want to clone it, I have no issue with it. In your case, where you appear to have some reservations on certain paint schemes, I think it would not be wise to attempt a clone. A well done clone- keeping close to the original can be nice, but as soon as it becomes a hybrid of clone styling and creative liberties- the project often "jumps the shark" and is not well received.

The option I would go with is build a car follows the theme of what was running around the streets of NY around 1972 or so. Check out some old magazines and look for some stripe styles you like and go form there. Keep all of the Motion stuff you have and use it to highlight the fact that it has many of the elements a guy from LI would have used back then.

I could see you using this stripe pattern and it working out pretty well. I agree witt Mark and the GT stripe, but you kinda loose some of original lines which compliment that stripe since you went with the cowl hood.
