I think maybe ive gained a little insight into these rat rod guys by going on ebay to passenger vehicles typing in rat rod. boy the fun has started. Heres what its all about [patina ], a useful word when describing a motor vehicle to a perspective buyer when you arent to proud of one or several features. That word has more apeal to a perspective buyer than piece of s#$t. Just think about it no more block sanding, no more hours of work getting panels to fit properly ,no more high dollar paint, no more wasted time searching for that just right part. Man this is sounding better all the time, rat rod petina, pass the flat black paint and some of them vinyl flames. Im hot to get started bulding one right away. Think I got enough parts to finish the first one want even have to buy anything. thinking small one the first one maybe a 6 or 7 thousand dollar ride.
