LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 plan on leaveing it ratty,but if it did ever get paint prolly just a basic pearl white with 50s style striping sweet, my favorite "ratrods" i have ever seen have custom and detailed frames. its cool that from far away, everything looks really old and when you get up close, you see everything is built properly and really trick.
