66 to emberglo or not?

I finally got my 66 coupe that I have wanted since I was six. It comes from San Francisco is was originally emberglo. It is very sound with no rust and has P/S. It is now painted a very chalky burgundy. In a few months I plan to totally strip and restore. My early thoughts were to make as close to concourse as possible but now I am thinking about different colors so one of my questions is how closely do the judges consider paint changes. My trouble is there is not a lot of 64-66 mustangs around to look at in Brisbane to make up my mind as to what color. Should I just paint it the the color I want and be happy cruizing?

I really like twin exhausts eg the GTs and the fog lamps too. Is this frowned upon as not good mods if the car was not a original GT? My budget could never spring to a real GT.

I am going to put an original aircon in it and and put in front discs. She has a black on black interior but I will move to a deluxe / parchment.
