How much do you think this would devalue the car from a collectors standpoint in the distant future? Being a clean clean Shelby and all?

I've owned a "real" Shelby (GT-350 - 1966 Red/White stripes #SFM6S1507) and understood that it was a true collectable, restored to original specs. Anyone buying new (2007 and up) Shelby's for future collectable value is not very wise with their money, in my opinion. WAY too many of them made to be collectible, the distant future you speak of is VERY distant and I doubt my kids would even see them reach the heights of the 60's era Shelbys. Short answer - I don't care about future value with this one, I'm moddin' the piss out of it and when finished I'm drivin' the piss out of it!:thumb2:

I am going to finish the master cylinder this weekend - need your opinions.
I'm considering painting it white as well. What do ya'll think - white or go back with the black?
