So I've made a couple of small customisations to my Rat Fink. I bought my Rat Fink off eBay last summer for £198 (about $300) and it was pretty much standard.
So I've made a few alterations (nothing major as I currently don't have the time or budget to do so, plus I kinda like it fairly stock).
Whitewall Tyres (I was amazed at how much better the bike looked immediately)
Black Bullet Headlamp
2 x Rear Soma Bullet Lights
Rat Fink 'Trophies' (here in the UK you have to sell bikes with front brakes which I've always hated, so I took them off. However you are then left with the brake mounts which have simply been welded onto the forks and look ugly as sin. So I've solved that for now by sawing them down and adding some Rat Fink Trophy-like heads (see pic))
Rat Fink Bell (A must have to usher those stubborn dog walkers out of the way!)
I intend to pick up a couple of new bikes in the summer (I haven't decided what to get yet though it will probably be eBay dependant) and do something a bit more ratty with one and then see where things go...
I live in North Wales but do travel frequently around the UK! Let me know if you're getting a ride together or fancy organising a cruise!
Please feel free to get in touch wherever you are though!

My 2013 - Electra Sparker Special (Slate Grey)
When I bought her home.
Here's what she looks like now, Origin8 bell, Electra classic pedals, Bullet Headlight, Brooks B190 saddle, Electra black dice valve cap, Kruzer Kaddy bevy holder, Soma Silver Bullet rear lights and tool pouch.
Oh...Fuzzy Dice to top off the look. LOL
Cheers

I live in Florida but visit Indiana each summer for an 2 month visit with family and decided a couple years ago that I would like to buy a bike to keep up there at my sister's house instead of going through the hassle of transporting a bike to ride up while up there. Then last summer decided to document the places my Rockabilly Boogy took me... so here's a few... I plan to make a blog surrounding these photos following the addition of the photos I'll me taking this summer.
Etc... Etc.

2009 Electra Delivery 3i Chicago Grey
Looking to buy one if someone knows of one for sale
Here's a REALLY bad picture from tonights bicycle ride through town. 
The girlfriends brand new Electra Huli Huli and my old Rat Rod.
The Rat Rod is a rolling project, will look completely different with some new brown tires, new white saddle/grips and new color to start with.
