nah.. that happened when people were spending $20k to get paint jobs that made their fiberglass replica Model T bodies look like they had rust holes.. i first saw that in the late 90's.
Makes me think of:
Yea I know its unrestored rather than retro modded but still. Seems like its just a cash in on the rat rod craze.
So... The faded and chipping paint, one primered fender, and rust holes on my 1979 Trans Am are "in" now? Sweet!
