Jim,
In one of your posts, you asked what defines your car as being a ratrod. Surely you jest? No, not a jest, as the question was put in a defiant attitude. Your car is the very definition of a ratrod. Not just paint as you suggest, not just primer over raw welds and dents unworked, not just unfinished, sloppy and uncaring workmanship wherever you look, not just total disrespect for the stylish design your car began its life as, not just the lack of proper suspension and clearance that prevent its being driven on many roads and into most driveways, not just electrical hazards of which some can be seen in the pictures, but when you put it all together, it is a ratrod without question.
No question it doesn't belong on the Barn, and below you will find the quote from Ryan that defines what the Barn is NOT about.
Now I'll say this: I am a purist and wouldn't do to a Ford what was done to yours for all the money in the world, BUT... I like your car. It looks like fun, it looks like someone had fun building it, and you'll have fun in rebuilding it with a flathead. It's a no holds barred all out scary piece of iron and I know that there are lots of purists like myself that secretly envy the freedom that can be had with doing a ratrod. Congrats on a fun ride and hope the other purists don't gang up to kick me off the barn for saying so. Below is Ryan's Rule:

Re: Hey Fellas... Some Clarification...
Bottom line, this is not and will not be a STREET ROD forum.
