Some discussion of what is a rat rod. Here is the definition.
A rat rod is a custom car with a deliberately worn-down, unfinished appearance, typically lacking paint, showing rust, and made from cheap or cast-off parts.
As is this one!

Yes. Rust weakens the car and causes more deaths in the case of an accident. At least that’s what we were told. Yet in South Australia yo can register any old rust bucket.

:o Thats what happens when I post on the fly!
I do remember the art and the Rat Fink models of the 60’s
(Ed “Big Daddy” Roth)“Yes it is cool, No I’m not going to paint it”
I’ve been entertaining that thought with my tractor.
Thing is, someone had already slopped an orangy-red paint over
it who knows how long ago, so its not like I would be preserving the
original patina.
It’s all apart…might as well….MFIB: Rust Law sounds a bit rusty itself!
