Understanding The Rat Rod

I washed and waxed The Beast in preparation for a car show at a favorite local brewery.

A Caprice PPV is NOT a small car.

I am gaining an understanding in why rat rods are getting some traction in the hot-rodding hobby.

When it's got "patina" you don't have to do near as good a job washing.  Plus, "Wax?  What is wax?"

Well, I've got a minimum of "patina" and rust spots on it and I want it to stay that way!

So, it's washed and waxed.

I even have windshield wipers and a headliner!  David Freiburger can't say that about a lot of his cars!
