Fantastic!!! I love it. I think you should go for the rusty old look, its getting pretty popular. and hot.
I saw a car similar to this at a show this summer. Instead of paint or rust, they coated it in truck bed liner. I bet that thing will never chip or rust.
That thing is incredible. Lot of history in those old parts. Seconded with Erik, the non-restored rods are coming back in a big way. They seem a little more pure to me, more in the spirit of what the original guys were looking for.
Very cool. I also like the ratrod look although it seems as though it is already getting to the point of being a little played out. These guys seem cool. http://frankensteiners.com/
