I think I'm going with FK5 burnt orange for the color with the black vinyl top.It's going to be an R/T clone.

I got black interior for it from legendary and I'm going to do black R/T hood and side stripes.I want to keep the body and interior looking a stock 71 R/T.Has anyone used a goodmark rear valance W/ exhaust cutouts or a trunk lid?Just wondering how good they are.
