My advice to you from working in both a body shop and restoration shop is to make sure you check on your car on a weekly basis, take your wife at least every third time if not more. Do not leave your car up to a family member to check on.
At the restoration shop we actually require the owner to stop in on a weekly basis to see the progress and pay their bill. Most of us in the shop enjoy talking with the owner and showing what we fixed. A good shop will take pictures of the work they are doing to show you while you visit.
I hope you signed a contract.
As for the color, as long as you and your wife like it, doesn't matter what we think
I look forward to progress pictures..
