Looking for Build Input

[vtblazer]

Going forward on another build but wanted to look for some new ideas and maybe some different ways of working them into the blazer.

Here's my current build direction, more of a resto-rod than a restoration.
Starting with a 1971 Blazer 4x4:
What I already have and plan to install.
*TBI'd 350 w/700r/241 T-Case
*Not sure on the axles, could go either 1/2 or 3/4 ton but will run 4:10 gears.
*2004 Tahoe buckets/console and 2nd row seats
*Single walled top

Thinking about doing:
*Dyno matt or equivalent sound deadening material
*Decent stereo w/some kick
*Cowl hood and/or chop down the 71 hood and lay it back.
*Hugger Orange paint (cause I always wanted one that color)

That's it so far, so feel free to post up those favorite/cool mods that have made a difference.
