YIKES!
I think the 'patina' look is associated w/the 'old truck' look. Old pick-ups seem to never go out of style. An old beater w/a fresh drivetrain & suspenision just look good.

The 'rat-rod' creations trend of late will go out of style IMO; classic/shop trucks... nope.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
