Yes the VW crowd has been doing it for years with 'Patina Beetles'. It certainly seems to be a growing trend and I suppose a reaction to overpriced and underused car restorations.

 

I really like this one and it is the way I would like to go with my 1980 Brumby. Once all the rust holes are welded up of course!

thats actually where i first saw the rat rod style when a beetle and a vw van passed me that were rat rodded out and I fell in love.  I actually just happened across this one online and it was only 20 minutes from me and I knew I had to have it.  It is just a very unique style and no women understand it I can tell you that, but the right crowd understands it and appreciate it. I love it
