If I were to take some dog **** and spray it with flat black or grey primer somebody on the internet would call it a rat rod

Rat Rods are pre WWII American cars only. A 240sx with a beat up Pep-Boys body kit and its wheels on backwards is about as far as you can get from what a rat rod is and what it is supposed to stnd for. This car has no business being associated with the late, great Gray Baskerville.
