Every rat rod owner can spray the car with primer and many do. Why do some leave the rust look? Because they like it. You think every part they’ve ever bought came rusted? No they actually had to rust some pieces to make it match with the rest of the car.

Slamming/ruining (in most cases) a perfectly operational suspension isn’t logical either, yet it is the new craze.
