I'd love to see a metallic burnt orange, with white stripes. I think it would look different and cool if it had one stripe that paralleled the hood scoop, with the std. 1/4" spaced stripe bordering it, and a trunk stripe that was also single the width of the widest portion of the front stripe. I love the shape of your scoop, and it would look great if the stripe emphasized it!
Hope that description made sense? I can't do anything hi tech with a computer.

I can't do anything technical on the puter either. LOL. I think I know what your saying thou Vall. I was also thinking of running two stripes that would be laid out like normal but be cut out to follow the outline of the cowl.

So you'd have the normal space between the stripes, but the space between them would follow the cutout when it got to the front of the cowl hood area? That sounds good too, then the rear would have the regular stripe look?

Yeppers. The only problem with the white stripe is I'm not sure that would look good with the blacked out tail panel.

Alright. I'll up your burnt orange and see you a nice LIGHT cream color stripe. I have seen this on a 55 Chevy and was gonna do it on my 85 short box. Except two tone cream on top and orange on the bottom.

Maybe a motion stripe on the side? Maybe all of what vall said but with silver?

Do you mean silver for the stripe or the main color? I like motion stripes as well. LOL

Wanting to paint mine silver and working at an oem painter I have run across some nice silvers. The orange on the new Camaros is slick too, it kind of looks blue at the right angle and light. Wieird to discribe but an awesome in person plus it can be touched up with out having the custom recipe (ran into that on the blue 78). I lost it recipe.

Or this? But with the blacked out tail panels like on the BB SS cars.
