U think thats bad theres a company out there selling fiberglass rods painted up to look rusty, they even go as far as adding metal panels to look like a welded in patch, the way i see it is the whole rat rod ,low buck diy theory has killed itself, its now so trendy that the original intention is long lost, but hey maybe some of you can cash in just take some sand paper , scratch up that shiny paint set it out in the rain, then take your nice uphoulstry out throw in some junk yard seats, or better yet take that old seat you have been saving to recover, put that in there and that $25.000 rod just went up to $50.000
