Hi Trent,

I don't know how many people "go all out"at it,but yes,a member here on Oldgas did a Rat Rod theme pump to promote his business,I think,a few years ago.Some of the guys may remember gasalleykid from 2010.

Anyway,he did a rat rod theme pump that was the wildest thing I've ever seen.Think about:

1) Fully exposed VR with a skull (??)in the sight glass,
2) Welded chain hose guards.
3) An air filter and exhaust pipes on the.

He was working with a Tok short 39.Definitely a one of a kind.

If you want to look at it,go back into my own posts for Mon Apr 5 ,2010.The topic was "Rat Rod Tok. 39 build pictures" posted by gasalleykid.That is the only way I know how to find it.

Interesting reading.IMO,go for it!!
