I like it. I actually have a Hotwheels car that looks very similar.

It's not a "rat rod". A "rat rod" is a rolling basket case vehicle. For example, if this were a Model T, or Model A Ford, the proper term would be "Period Correct Hot Rod". Whether it was unfinished or not. But let's just call this a moot point.

Yes, I'd drive it too.

I guess you could call this pushing the envelope when it comes to mods. To each his own. In a strange way, I find myself liking this for the creativity.

Then again, the guy should have (at least) installed a flat head V-8. I still like it.

Yep. A Buick Nailhead (V-8) would also be a good choice for this thing.

I like it. Ihave actually seen a few Jeep rat rods...I think they are building one in JP magazine as well. Pretty cool and extra points for the Browning.
