Silver metallic powder coat. Was going with white but since my paint is emerald metallic with silver stripes to match the frame.
Man there's a lot of parts, I spent 2.5 hours and inventoried only 2 boxes!
Fantastic! Have fun and don't cheat on the inventory. I took two days to do mine with my wife's help and checked every single nut and bolt.

I'm planning for the same. Probably will double check it.

really pay attention to left hand and right handed parts as well. They accidentally sent me two right side rear brake calipers instead of a right and left.

I have gone back and forth, up and down, side to side on colors. I finally just told the wife, this is artwork. Yes 500+ HP of artwork, but in the end we are building art. She advised that a metallic emerald green would be her preference, I'm fine with that (although I think it might be too blingy) but we'll see. So I thought white would look awesome but I saw someone posting on their 35 truck and they had a silver metallic frame. When you put the green and silver together it is a powerful combo.
Congratulations!!! Be sure and count each rivet. LOL.

There were a lot of metallic greens back in the 70s so keep looking. The 'emerald' part I suspect needs to go but like any basic color there are many dozens versions of green. I was a Lexus tech when I was looking into silvers for my FFR. One day I walked into the shop and there happened to be 4 silver cars next to each other. If you looked at any one by itself you would call it silver. But there was a LOT of difference between those 4 cars.
