My theory regarding the rat rod craze is that painting a car right is such a PITA or expensive that people have decided to 'appreciate'
patina.
If a rat rod is done right it can be very nice.
I do think this minerva car has just the right original paint wear to be a nice one.
Too little patina or wear doesn't have the effect.
Kevin can always choose to paint it some day.

Getting old may suck, but it beats the alternative!

Patina is usually weather and age but when they get that bad we can call it patina all we want but it is still just a car in desperate need of body and paint work. That being said Kevin is and has been a loyal and wonderful friend to me and my Family as well as an asset to my shop so I want to offer him full body and paint , when he is ready , on the house!
