Default 90 s10 4.3 need ideas!

OK so this thing is WAY beat up exterior wise. Interior isn't too bad. Here is a list of what I have done and what I am going to do

Done so far:
Painted wiper arms, antenna and antenna base gloss black
Painted door handles and key locks gloss black (including rear)
Sanded Painted my tow hooks on the front gloss black
Painted my side mirror gloss black
Switched out steering wheels (mine was terribly rusted and duct taped)
Sanded rust off the exterior and ready for Bondo
Debadged
Put proper fuses in truck after I bought it Friday so it runs right
(Everything I painted I sanded, FYI)


Coming up:
Finish body work and paint 2 tone red and black (from my grey and black)
Fiberglass headliner (it's falling down) and sun visors
Put a muffler on (it's straight piped, love it, but illegal)
Install CD player (currently no radio)
Paint grille and bumpers gloss black and Chevy emblem red
Removing busted luggage rack
Mold on hood scoop (not cowl)


So.... There is the list. Any ideas on what else I can do? Need to know my options here. Thanks!


Here is the pic of her after I bought her Friday... he will look a LOT different

well, in all honest - the sky is the limit. Is there a direction you would like advice in? you have suspension mods (lift / lower / bag / hydroaulic / ect.) body mods (body kits, custom part mods, flares, ect) rims and tires, window tint, interior options (new seats, re-cloth, new carpet, fiberglass dash, add waterfall center console, lights, ect) audio/video options, engine upgrades, drivetrain upgrades.

I mean were do you want to start, and how much work do you want to invest? Money always comes last for me on mods because i figure if you have a vision and truely want it - you can save up and eventually have it. let me know so we know were to go in helping you.

water fall lights? I like the sound of that! Do tell This is my "work" truck but I want it to be spectacular! Rims and tires I am going to do.

I liek my interior as is, I am fiber glassing the headliner, I guess I can do the dash too, any pointers there?

Also, the air dam under the bumper on the front, can that be fiberglasses or is that a bad idea since its currently rubber?

Thanks!
