heryl Crow sang, ‘the fi rst cut is the deepest,’ and though we don’t
                           think she was talking about building a rat rod, she could have been.

                           Take Ken Rael’s ’39 Dodge pickup truck, for example. He planned on
                           chopping the top, but had never done it before. He taped out the cuts,
                   but waited four whole days before he made the sparks fl y. Ken says, “What I
                   got out of (that experience,) is that it’s only metal. You can always add more
                                                        to work it back into place.” That’s the spirit.
