Great shots and the skies really did look ominous in the photos.
You know, I hate to say this, but I am not a big fan of the "Rat Rod" genre...I can see taking a rust bucket and getting it road ready, but I have seen some very classic rides all chopped up and "ratted out", ruining an otherwise sweet ride.
Perhaps I'm old school, but there's nothing like a clean body, sweet paint job and polished goodies to make a ride stand out.
