Haha, not many rat rod fans on here. The point isn't to be very functional in the sense that it's comfy for you and stands up to rain, but to give it a steampunk / industrial / unfinished type look with everything exposed and for pure go-fast performance. The 2002 doesn't make for a very good rat rod, though, as King of Jericho pointed out. You can't really see out of it at all.
Here's one I really like, a '28 Dodge, '98 Cummins engine, and a 10 second 1/4 mile...
And lots of dead wildlife, too, apparently.
