i will say one thing, the rat rod at the good guys car show got more stops and stares then the other cars we had....

Buddy of mine has a rat rod that he built for the fun of it. Bill is an old time hotrodder and has made lots of 250+MPH passes down the quarter mile in funny cars and is comfortable enough to build any car he wants, but he absolutely loves this car that he named "Skanky."

When I ran into him at Daytona last year he had just completed a 3700 mile trip in it, and just a week or so ago I saw a picture of it at the Chicago Goodguys show. He drives the wheels off of it, and wherever he goes there is a deep crowd around the car. For some reason it is just fun to look at.

He's added some real custom touches like the dead bird on the front axle and a mailbox for an airscoop, complete with door that opens and closes with a choke cable.
