why not just fill in the dings and block sand it? Its a muscle car it should have a nice paint job,use body filler to fill in any dings and dents,block sand it shoot it with primer,then a different color light mist of primer and wet sand it till you don't see any dings,then time for paint.

if you're going to repaint a car, get the bodywork done!!!!

and yes, if you're painting it white give it some class and style with some stripes or something

If this is your first tine painting,go to a junk yard and pick up a cheep hood and do a few test runs first. Take your time with the body work,if you can get the primer sprayed on without problems then almost any paint will go on for you. just stay away from pearl and black. Metallic blue is an easy color to do,but if you take some time to practise it should turn out fine. Even white will show a bad paint job.
