Gonna redo my bro's 82 SWB

As many of you have probably seen me trying to advertise my brothers 82 SWB pickup (with no luck), we've decided to take drastic measures. When time permits in the upcoming weeks, it will get all new panels and go ratrod style.

Right now I'm feelin Hotrod flat black, red corvette rallys, and red flames (with a little red and white pinstriping thrown in the mix)

What do you guys think? more ideas are also welcome, as it is a clean slate at the moment!

rather than full out flames, go for some pinstriped flames.

no, instead of flames go all old school pinstriping, on the tailgate, hood, and other things,

How about the early 60s sleeper look. Like the early Chevy IIs, Chevelles, and Biscaynes. Plain white, light blue, or light green exterior, minimal exterior chrome, single color interior, minimal interior options, body color steel wheels, dog dish hubcaps, black wall tires, and a huge engine.

Well, this will be to sell still, so drivetrain changes aren't an option. The only thing that needs done to finish out the whole truck is body and paint. I can shoot primer, airbrush, and pinstripe to a degree, so that shouldn't be too big of a deal. It will probably follow a "Dutch" theme in red and white pinstriping.
