rat or not to rat

I'm sorry I didn't get to this sooner. Was out of town and didn't have internet access. So I murdered out 63 Dart 2 dr. The stainless headlight rings were toast so I straightened them and painted them. I did not use primer because it attracts moisture. I used semi gloss enamel with a top coat of Rustoleum textured paint. Does this make it a rat rod? No. Does this make it worse than your POS shiny trailer queen? No. Does it make it more popular than your shiny machine? Most of the time, yes. I am currently building a gasser replica out of a 49 Dodge pilot house. Why? because I want to do it. It will not be shiny. It will look like it just came out from behind the barn. Do I care that you won't like it? No. I'm building it because I want it. That is what everyone should do. And if you don't like the way someone did THEIR car or truck or whatever, shut your mouth and walk away. It's none of your business. Do that and I won't make fun of your POS. Fair enough?

Pictures! I want to murder out my dart but I think it might look stupid.
