The Start of Project "Ratty Rat's" Metamorphis

[bbbentley]

It is not unusual to find a 50 year old survivor hotrod missing an emblem. I only bought 3 emblems, they are pretty high priced. The good part of the high price is there won't be too many guys making a DH replica. So, suppose the emblem was stolen? With 3 emblems, what to do? We all have seen what is under missing trim or emblems, unfaded, original paint. So I had to replicate that with a little rubbing compound.

Bentley: I see your trunk lid had holes for a spoiler. How about a flat black painted spoiler put back on it to match the flat black hood? That would take care of the missing Yenko emblem! Definitely a ratty Day 2 Mod! Don.

Thanks Don. Yeah, those holes on the lid were a sin from the past that I did in my 20s. In fact, every 69 I had, I put spoilers and ducted hood on. Guess I was a trend setter back then (not!), as everyone today does the same mods? Nah, I have to be different, well, at least no spoiler, that is. If I can get another one of my nicer lids painted, I would use that. But too much nice painted panels is not “Ratty”? I’m not a painter and I have not decided what I will do with hood and roof, except, they won’t be staying the way they are.
