Herb makes a $150,000 brand new rat-rod Camaro. > “Because no one else has the balls to do it,” Sherer told Jalopnik. “Everyone else is making them clean.” > Beyond just grinding off paint, the team rubbed salt on the open metal to speed rust, repainted and sanded some areas for better colors, and kicked dents into the trim for that put-away-wet look. The hood is slightly misaligned, the badges are off and the grille’s broken. > **[The brand-new $150,000 Camaro rat-rod](https://jalopnik.com/the-brand-new-150-000-camaro-rat-rod-5800415)** > > There are hot rods. There are rat rods. Then there's this: A new Camaro SS that's been speed-rusted and deglossed into junkyard condition while getting a 1,000-hp supercharged engine — and it only cost $150,000. > **[Would You Believe This Camaro Cost $100k? - LSX Magazine](https://www.lsxmag.com/news/would-you-believe-this-camaro-cost-100k/)** > > There will never be another 2010 Camaro like Bill Rombauts', at least not for anther thirty years. Rombauts and his friend/fellow Hot Rod Power Tour veteran Dave Sherer decided to take a 2010 Camaro where no one has gone before. ![http://www.lsxtv.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/9/files/2011/05/IMG_0218.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/8/883479c21783e3417dc08bccb95e31d3d0d6002e.jpeg) ![http://www.lsxtv.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/9/files/2011/05/IMG_0222.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/8/28a50301c300c1b8abbc34db2b61de36227af942.jpeg) ---
