Thanks for reloading the pictures, I thought maybe I developing problems seeing PhotoBucket images like I have on my home computer.

Personally, rat rods just do it from me. The majority look like cobbled together scrap heaps. Flat black paint jobs just strike me as projects that have have gotten to a point and were given up on. That's just me, I will admit though that some, a small minority, actually look like it took some talent to do.

My question is when will in the weeds, huge tired, flat black paint jobs fall out of favor when everyone is doing them? I'm afraid what might be next.

I've been watching the Shop Truck on the HAMB, again, not what I really would want but the guy has some real imagination and skills. This truck doesn't look like a bunch of scrap parts boogered together.

IN MY OPINION RAT RODS SUCK most times it looks as though the mechanic hasnt enough patience for the paint job.......unfinished is still incomplete.......i always wonder if he was that impatient to get it on the road what else has he rushed through .....research,ie springs but then again this is just my opinion

Mark,

I've seen that one posted on the HAMB, nice looking work. Hopefully, he'll forgo the slamming into the weeds stance he has photoshopped in one of his pictures.
