Yes to body paint, as a natural patina will have to be created!

No, to just drag wheels up front.

I dont follow the extra race between #3 and #4 - would that be to create a bonus point(s) to the winner?

Count me in pending the selected submission/race dates!.

no... normally they are 3rd and 4th together, the extra race is to differenciate 3 n' 4, giving us a true 1 thru 4...
1 extra race !

Too bad it can't be 60-gram weight limit...then the Engineless Orange Thing itself could enter.
I agree with the points system--including the race between #'s 3 & 4--and I might say three cars to make it interesting, plus the options of drilled or undrilled rivets.

How about we make this intersesting.....
To make it a real Rat Rod, it has to be chopped ALOT and use parts off of other cars. I think that would make it funner (Is that even a word?) Also, how about making it so the car has to have an authentic weathered look?

Funner is a real word....don't ask how I know......
