Re: New 70 C10 Rat Rod Project!

First of all- you have a nice start for the look you're after. If it were mine I would;
A. Carefully strip the paint from the grill surround and polish it back up.
B. Either find a good Chrome front sport bumper or fab up some contoured nerf bars.
C. Ditch the high back buckets and try to score some low back units from an mid 60's GM "B" Body (Chevelle, LeMans, Cutlass, Wildcat, etc...).
D. Roll some old skool "Genie" rims (red, of course) with cop caps and thin hot-rod rings.
E. Wide Whites for rubber.
F. Peep mirrors or stock round ones.
G. No side pipes
H. Definately some mild pinstripping.
I. Pitch the auto column, and replace the floor shifter with a 23" Lokar unit.
J. Drive it like ya' Stole it!
