So to answer the question, I do not like Rat Rods that are deliberately built to look like crap.
I agree with the fact that people are spending big money to build "rat rods" to look like crap is crazy. Now building a car from parts that you can scrounge up is kinda cool. I realy like the old pickup rat rods but they are a long way from being cheap and easy to come by. If your gonna buy "rust" colored paint and spend time painting your ride why not Paint it with a actual color.
