Painting my IROC and need advice

I've got a clean 86 IROC (all stock, but a 350 is going in and the 305 is in storage)and I'm torn on whether I should paint it back to the original red or do a custom color with ghost flames. I've already got the flames all laid out and the color picked out.

I just don't see that many IROC's on the road anymore (at least around here) and wonder if I should keep the stock look.

you should do what you like no matter what is going on. If you havent noticed the market for modified cars is growing and the market for original cars is shrinking
