Definitely not doing a show truck thing. Want to drive it and enjoy the aged look of it. I'm thinking of doing some sort of clear coat type thing on the paint to maintain the patina. I might end up dumping more into the interior than anything else. I'm not builidng a hot rod or even a rat rod necessarily but I would like it sound cool- doesn't have to be fast. Thanks for getting back to me! I sold this to my wife unde rthe pretext that it's a gift for my son...who is only 8 months old!
