Would a MACO paint job be worth it? The flat black looks like crap.
I don't really have space to work on it. I don't have a truck to grab parts either.... makes it difficult.
What's the goal? If you're just trying to push it on Craigslist, the only selling points will be how ready it is for daily driving. For example, reasonably rust-free, complete, dependable, and able to pass safety/emissions inspections. Any fancy bits such as aftermarket wheels, high-priced exhaust, sound systems, etc. will not help it move. Even if someone was buying it to slam it, they won't really care what fancy bits you have on it, because they have their own ideas of what they want.

A paint job won't pay. Junkyard bumpers(even if rusty) probably will. No one will pay extra for ram-horn manifolds. Find a set of junkyard stock manifolds and build a cheap exhaust system off of them. Keep your ram-horns for a future project of your own.
