Fill Rambox with beer. You'll be the hit of the show.

Slam it! Or at least a 2/4 kit. I'm waiting for you to do it before I take the plunge.

Just make sure everything is xtra clean inside and out and under the hood. Find some universal engine dress up pieces if nothing else. Shine up the paint, engine, interior, fender wells, chassis, and everywhere that can be seen. I had a show truck once and a lot of times the cleanest and most detailed rig in the show wins regardless of mods. I have seen this happen and everyone there is dumbfounded. If it is just a show and shine I would still dress to impress.
