Any rust fans?

I still do not believe in the slightest, even for a split second that Mike burned down his own garage, BBS wheels and his favorite car ever.

Same here. The guy spend 4 years building the car the way he liked, the car was , and still is, a legend, no way he would burn it.



On other hand, lol so many rust haters :D

The "rust" look is so dumb..... It looks crappy and just ruins a perfectly good car. I'd rock jacked up paint long before rocking the dumb rust look

I am a HUGE fan of rusted and weathered patina cars, I grew up attending hot rod shows with my dad. It is a love it or hate it thing, I personally dislike shiny paint and chrome. It is dumb rusted/patina cars are all reverted to Mike and Slammington, he never started it nor made it mainstream, it has been done well before any of us on here were around and owning cars.

One day I will go back to the family roots and build a nice old truck rat.

BIG difference between rat rods and modern day rust. Rat rods are where someone took a non-running rusty car or shell and turned it into a hot rod. Modern rust is where someone takes a perfectly good car and rusts it to make it look that way. Completely different animals.

I like most rat rods, a lot of them have some cool ideas put into them, but modern rusty is so played out and more often than not badly done, that I can't stand it.

5toes got banned for rusting his hood. Just saying...

Rust is for volkswagens because they're rust buckets anyways.

Yeah, I heard the story about 5toes lol. Define modern day rust. If you are referring to modern cars then yeah, it's retarded, I'm though talking about 60s-80s cars that are in crappy condition, just keep that old, beat up look with rust, faded paint and etc... But as has been said, it's either you love it or hate it. Hehe

RUST is a crime on any car

And this is a proper Hot Rod.


Some of these things today that people call "Rat Rods" are just abominations

[milo1303s]

If you rust a 510 you should be punched in the face !

I still think you and your idea are stupid.

This.

Rusting a car is like spilling ketchup on your jeans, and letting it sit there until the stain looks cool. It never looks cool.

As an enthusiast that doesn't ruin my cars with my mods, I'm always taken aback by the lengths people go to to be "different".

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Anyone here seen the dipped Volkswagen bug that they made patina. Look up addipted patina bug on google images. I think it looks alright I bet many will disagree.

[Batz]

It looks good imho. Still like the older ones more, but this one pulled it off pretty well i guess..

*But the r3v members "filled with love" are about to comment lol

[Dakotademon7]

SWEET! I can call my paint job custom. Lol.

[timmyr77]

I hang out with OP all the time. So I'll punch him if he ever rusts anything for all you rust haters. Patina can be sick tho.
