rat rod. i hate that term. it used to mean something completely different that what it has become. these days, if it's just too far gone to be restored, or total junk, it's a ratter. those guys who actually build those truly wild machines from all kind of stuff and make it work are the true rat rod guys.
sort of like "patina" (ya just can't help sounding like a goofball when you say that or "celedon" instead of freakin' blue).
for trucks that are like the burb Cletis owns, the original finish is a huge plus. the old truck looks great. for most all of the others, it simply means they simply can't do paint and body work, or the thing has rust holes in the top and hood they don't know how to deal with.
and finally this. i'm a retired cop and i like little guns that put huge holes in meat. i think joker and i will get along REAL well.
