Being a connoisseur of crustiness, a person of petrified patina, and a raving rust-ationalist;

I hear by dub these builds in the Build Off #11 as the "Most Rat-isfying Rust-ified Rat Rods"!

These bikes, which have a combination of real and faux-tina, epitomize the rat rod bicycle in my own weird rat-ionalizations. Each winner of this award will receive a copy of an ad for Hawk Model Company's "Weird-Oh" model kits from the March 1964 edition of Hot Rod Magazine! This ad will be custom coffee-aged by yours true-Lee and mailed to each recipient.

Congrats to this year's winners! Here they are.....in no particular order….

This rat traveled the country this summer and looked good in every setting.....rELEVENt Setback, my eye!

Very gRATifying selections!!!!
Super cool prize to!
CONGRATS TO THESE AWESOME RATS!!!!
 
Thank you, thank you.


OJ, next year you'll see why setbacks caused me to build this bike. I couldn't afford the Evolution Flyer concept, couldn't take money from the trip either. Wife would've killed me.

In all seriousness, its great to win something for a project I actually put an effort in.
 
Thanks again for doing this OddJob you ROCK !!!:rockout:

A trip like that would be great, would take a little planning though.
 
We're spread out fairly equally [emoji1303]

I figured since I won an award, I'd post it up on the Falstaff Garage refrigerator.

Looks good Sbakesbeer! Those magnets came in handy...:bigsmile:
MC, they are 'suitable for framing, decoupage, bulletin board, or dart board'.... and we can now add 'fridge' to that list!:thumbsup:
 
I got mine today as well. Very cool. Someday when I dig out my Wierd-Oh kits I will put them on display proudly with the ad. Until then probably just keep it under protective glass in the secret vault.
