Rebuild on a shoestring.....continued

[hgs_notes]

Patina paint should only be done for your own, not one you want to sell. Color should be a popular original, like the blue you did that blazer in or drews crewcab blue. Black is good but the body work has to be very good and it will take more wetsanding after to make it real nice. Reds are always popular.

Doing it nicer may not take much more money, but will definitely take a lot more time. I would do as much to increase the value as possible with the least amount of time involved to reach that point. Adding good options is an easy way to do that and a decent paint job without having to wet sand 15 times between coats will do just fine. If there is nothing wrong with the brakes and suspension, I'd leave them alone if you're just selling it. The buyer would probably rather have the option of what to do with it.
