Need direction

[Towmater454]

I need ideas and motivation!
I've had my project for a few months and its running like a champ but now I can't figure out what to do with it. I've thought about every single color and combination but can't settle on anything. I'm looking for value and appreciation of the project.

1. I don't really want a rat rod, i know its the perfect start.
2. I want something i can resell if needed so not an absurd investment but does have some value.
3. I'm not going to bag or lower it.

I'd like suggestions on color combinations, I'm leaning towards pin stripes on the sides and down the hood, two tone bright red bottom and either white or silver top. I'm in Texas so black is too hot and my mustang is already blue.
Is it a pain to get the cab off the frame? Can i just unplug the wiring/steering/brakes unbolt and lift it off? Is it worth the effort to clean up the frame?









Transmission tunnel cover was in the bed, the passenger side isn't as bad but still rusty.
