all i meant by rot was not to sweat all the deets, like what's under the wheel cover. My paintjob it slowly fading, and my plan it to let it. I wash an wax now and then. But I'm gonna get that u.g.l.y. patina going like a good rat rod. Paintjobs are expensive vanity, and I can get some great hardware for half that money.

I call it the eco-ratrod now! lol

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
