Sometimes the answer is 'no'.

I'm sure this started out with good intentions.

Mmmmmmm........nope for me, but the beauty in Rat-Rods is the great diversity within the same genre. Someone thought it cool enough to build it

It could be worse.

It looks like either someone had a vision and ran out of money, motivation, or time to complete it the way they wanted, or someone had a weird (not cohesive) vision that wasn't a hot rod or a rat rod and completed it.

I like RR's as much as anyone, but like anything there has to be a plan, or else it just ends up looking like all the parts you found back in the barn. To be fair, a better grille-shell might do wonders. That Model A shell with an electric fan jammed in for a grille just sets the tone for the whole rest of the build.

Lose the green - brush paint it camo green or flat black, color match the firewall and stick a better looking fan on it and it might not look quite so … special …
