If you want to make a change people would notice. leave it exactly the same, except lift the hell out of it on some big-a$$ tires.

Wow!  That thing is definitely crazy, that's for sure.  I've been to South Bend, IN quite a bit over the years, but never seen that thing around.  Impressive none the less.  Not really sure what your under carriage/frame and motor look like, but maybe do some things in that department?  Clean it up, continue the insane paint in those areas, etc.??

Chassis- full back half, smoothed and paintedEngine- Buick Grand National (mildly built), GMC typhoon or syclonePaint- 2-tone paint with wild airbrush break lineBed- raised bed floor, smoothed and painted, but where you may still see some of the back half, or maybe even do a sick wood floorInterior- sheet metal dash (old desoto or cadillac) sheet metal top half of doors, either sheet metal or fiberglass center console, fiber glass behind seats so they hug seats  (like old            corvettes), upgrade seat covers, make one-off door panels, upgrade stereo system, ididit steering column, move switch box to center console (hidden)Engine bay- smooth firewall and paint, molded inner fendersBody- stock hood, no cowl hood, smooth wiper cowl, new LED taillights under rear window, move plate to center, maybe envoy, trailblazer, or jimmy front clip Those are just some ideas I have, maybe some will help
