I did use the wilwood brake calipers & alloy radiator, I guess you can call those two items modern upgrades.

Dark Blue or black paint, no stripes.

thanks jeff, will see you at NJ with this car.

That's what I figured. My car is the same way. I like it to look correct on most details, but I also like having upgraded stuff that makes it better or safer to drive.

If you need any help or advice on making non-original stuff look original, shoot me a message sometime. On your radiatior, you can paint it with Eastwoods radiator black (semi gloss finish) and then put a repro Serck tag on top and it looks much more correct (what I did with mine).
