[TPR] Painting ITBWILD BLACK + Engine

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Current engine made 503 RWHP at 6,000 R's 4 years ago....quite sure HP is down but engine is still running well....no leaking no oil burning great engine build by Russ Fulps with help on cooling from Dick Dresnke, Don Byers did the transaxle, and Mike Trusty did the IR-EFI

Repainting the Pantera has started. Twelve week schedule. Going back to chrome bumpers and steel decklid and hood. 
Since it has been all most 15 years since my last project I need some suggestions on a few items I want to replace....So would like advise on source, est. price, and any input on whether you liked the look or final fit and finish....any opinions appreciated.
1. door, decklid, and hood, and intake ears rubber
2.  New door handle Assemblies...remember seeing something aftermarket that was billet aluminum
3.  Same thing on side marker lite Assemblies
4.  Still not decided on powder coating color for wheels but thinking similar to stock color...anyone have that reference.
And finally on the exterior color.....In 1985 the Pantera had been repainted Black.  So after a House of Colors Cobalt Blue for 13 years and a rat rod black 'wrap' for 2 years going back to basic high gloss black lacquer with clear overcoats...you know the kind of lacquer painters aren't supposed to use in California anymore 
PS  On the engine I am still working with Russ on a "ProfessorKiller" 700+ Hp engine. Bumping compression a point to 12.1 and a monster solid roller.....new lightened crank, same but modified Trusty IR-EFI, same 302B modified heads, same 180's, same oiling and cooling system. Hoping to see 650+ at rear wheels. 
Yea you can never have enough HP
