PLUMBERS RAT ROD

I saw this at the Auto Fair in Charlotte NC . Not sure exactly what it is composed of.

I have enough trouble trying to make my truck drivable. I just don't understand why anyone would do this.

But, hey, it's a free country... at least for another month.

I don't believe NHRA allows copper fuel plumbing, for good reasons.

What a waste of a jailbar. The owner should be put behind real jailbars!

Perhaps it is modern art and is destined to sit on a lawn and rust . The sooner the better.
IMHO

It's bad enough on the outside, but what's more important is what is in the inside. I've never seen a rat rod I'd want to ride in or have driven toward me on the open road.

Sometimes you just have to wonder what goes on it some peoples heads. It looks like a terrible waste of some decent metal.

I love the tail lights. Have used them on several builds. Them and early stang lights work well.

Can you imagine if some country dude with a big chew of tobacco in his mouth walk up to that thing at a car show and use those spittoons for their intended purpose.

But like somebody else said, more power to him if he can sell that to some rich dude with no common sense.

I seldom weigh in on something where I can not make a positive comment. The craftsmanship looks to be nice but the end result product, IMHO, is a downright ugly POS.
A waste of good components.

IMHO, jailbars are about as ugly as you can get stock so most anything you do to it can be considered an improvement!
