Truckin' Thursday - Mike and Ike '71 El Camino

I am fan of this casting from Hot Wheels, including the one with insane propulsion thrusters on its truck bed. After losing a few auctions for the HW garage version and being quite sore about it, this Mike and Ike version was bought out of spite like a placeholder of sorts.

Hot Wheels have gone really well with its stance, even though it is covered in silly candy graphics, there's a hint of "serious business" under that guise. Perhaps when I finally get that Garage piece, I use this for a custom project (something about the green tinted window however).

What would do with it? Keep it as is, change the paint, or just harvest the Real Riders and chuck the rest out?
