Looks like you have some cool plans for it. The benefit of keeping the same color is that you won't have to paint the jambs and the back side of the doors. I do like that shade of blue. It looks good when the paint is fresh.
The shaker hood will look awesome on there as well.
I plan on changing the color of mine, so it will have to be disassembled to paint the jambs, doors, tailgate, fenders, etc. Besides, my jambs and tailgate openings are kind of crappy looking.

Your car looks like Bonnewagon's twin. Same color, same header panel.

I remember that car now. It was for sale several months ago on this site. The body looks decent aside from the dents and dings.

I really like the color too, and unless im happy with the other paint plan it will stay the same, but im gonna draw out the
car and add color to the drawing in the design im thinking and if it looks good ill go with it. Body is some dings and the
dent, but rust free car. The door dent was worked out with hammer and dollies, i didnt want it filled with 10lbs of bondo.
