Rat Rod Fever

[One-eyed Sailor]

Brothers, I've got it bad.
My first bike was this wanna-be stingray my dad put together for me for Christmas 1964.

Today I find myself most attracted to the bikes I find on this site and with the time and a little bit of money to put together the not-so-common.
This bike is for sale cheap here in Rockville but I can't quite figure out what it is.

Please help if you can. Peace!

The drivetrain is skiptooth, that's rare and valuable stuff. They literally haven't made it in decades.

$40 né? Thanks Matti

Is it 20 or 24 inch wheels?
The chainring makes me want to guess 1940s Huffman/Dayton

Missed it but of course there’s a Monark Rocket I just offered $80 on.
