Robert Williams

The father of the rat rod.

He drove one before they had a name: note the unpainted rust patina, the 8’s & Aces “dead man’s hand” painted on the side.

When the rust patina thing became a cliche (or maybe even before), he PAINTED HIS DAMN ROD.  Fuck you, hipsters.

I like his black coupe even better.

Robert Williams: recognize, rodder.
