Nice choice. This ws Lisa's other project choice as we had a real red 68 KR 500 convertile for a couple years in 1987 and she LOVED it. This should look killer! Good luck and welcome.

Holy thread resurrection Batman! It’s not often we see something come back after 13 years. Wow, and wow for the car as well. Beautiful!
