Man, I -just- jumped into a classic Mustang as well...
1966 fastback, 4 speed, 302, signal flare red...
It's the same as grabber, basically.
From what I've learned about classic paint schemes... it all depends on what direction you want to take the car:
1. Trailer Queen, basically one you don't drive, and only take to shows or plan to make $$$ off of. If you go this route, a full resto paint job will cost $10,000+ if done properly (metalwork, trim, etc) It's also smart to paint the car it's original color, it helps with $$$ value of the car.
2. Driver: ~$3000 paint job, do what you want with color, only get the worst things out of the metal, etc.
I'm going route 2. I've had mine for just a month and already spent $1500 having the rusted floor pans, rusted cowl, and cracked shock towers replaced
Be very careful when working on your car, there are big differences between a "body shop" and a "restoration shop"... and also big price differences.
Lmk what you do/how you do it, I've yet to decide what I'm doing with my car
