                                                                         adly, that is what most people see, a bunch
                                                                         of parts with no soul. Most people look
                                                                         over these cars because they are not shiny
                                                                         and slick with chrome slapped on every
                                                                         available part. But to dismiss these cars,
                                                                without as much as a second look, is unfair. Just
                                                               because you can’t see your refl ection in the paint,
                                                               or lack thereof, doesn’t make them any less of a car.
                                                               By repainting and stripping away all the old parts,
                                                              you are taking away its soul. To me, Rat Rods are
                                                              an art form and another way to express one’s love
                                                             for the automobile without losing the essence of
                                                             what you have set out to do… preserve a part of
                                                             history while, at the same time, driving the wheels
                                                            off it!
                                                               With that being said, I give you... “Baron”!
