Default Let's see those rat rod styled Hondas/Acuras

I never found a thread of this and I love the style, but haven't really seen any of our cars done like this. So let's see them!

not many have been done yet,... i'm hoping going to mess around with my spare hood (rusting..) this week...

my bud don has one going though... more 'hot rod' than rat of couse.. but still..

I love those pics also

but what i dont understand is the whole ... letting the body rust to add character thing

yes it does look tasteful, but are they planning on letting the car rust as it wants to, or do they "control" it in some way?

The llast vw posted was originally like that. The guy had a thread on VW vortex and he abuses the **** out of the car. Many of the rusted cars seem to be surface rust from removed paint. I dont understand turning a new car into a rat rod, but beaters and already rusted cars like the VW are sick.

Wish I had new, less-whored-out pics but it's cold and the car is jacked up for the winter so these will have to do until next spring.







And yes there was a lot of natural rust before I destroyed the paint.

Very cool, i'm down for something different. The coupe would look more rat rod with red steelies and white walls, or black with a polished lip.
