Stay Rat or.....Go all the way????

[Redleg]

As a few of you have seen me post, for the last few months ive been using my 72 shop truck/Rat rod/patina truck for a daily driver.

Still running great. Still drive it almost every day. Still my daily driver besides the bike.

Well i am about done with the bike. (Mods that is), so my budget and attention are now turning back to the 72.

Well ive been looking at the truck and listing all the stuff that needs done etc. My plan was to go from (1st Picture), to (2nd Picture)(photoshopped)...keeping the "kinda rat rod/shop truck/flat paint theme......

However, looking at all the parts i want and need, i realized, the only thing between me and a gorgeous truck would be a nice paint job.....

SO my question to you guys. Stay the old school theme and go with the Army Green....OR spend just a few hundred more and put a good paint job on it....

Im stuck...I love the thought of both....
