Back on the road

Boy it's been a long time since I've had my Cutlass up and running like this. For the last two years it's been one set back after another but it was worth it. I've been driving her every day for the last couple of weeks. Things that have been done, rebuilt 350 out of a 70, 200 r4 so now I have overdrive, new rear quarter, seats are done, new wheels and tires, and a bunch of other stuff. I can't believe how good it runs and drives. All it needs now is a nice paint job. Any color suggestions? The only issue is how low the headers hang down. Some pictures:

The headers are from KMJ performance but they don't carry them anymore because of fit issues. I'm leaning toward a silver for the color.

I'm guessing you're from the Kingston area with a name like Townie and from RI? Hello from one Rhode Islander to another. Nice start on your car.
