Well heres the one I was mentioning:
This mini truck has no windows or window slots, no cover no top no nothing but bed and cab!! He said he actually shifts with his hand on top of the shift! I just dont get it! lol
Sorry about the size of the pic but when I made it smaller it was hard to see the shifter.

In my head, I had the stereotypical picture of flames and chrome rims...like these:
(coincidentally, both wheels are for sale in classifieds!)
I actually going to do this, but at the last minute moved into a different direction. Anyhow, I think the xB can look good in all sorts of styles if done cleanly...

WHY do they do that???
I'll be back later on to share! :D
If I had a sunroof, I would make a super tall one for car shows, and stuff that came out of the roof. My new one is about as tall as I can go right now, it is about 8 or 9 inches taller that the one in the pic.

I think the whole rat-rod thing is a damn good idea, it would def be original...
The one thing I would suggest however, is to do the black in a Satin color, not flat. and to do the ACCENTS in the flat color or in a satin as well...gives it that "I'm finished, but almost looks like I'm not...but it looks like I am at the same time" lol, I'm all cooky today...
Heres a couple pics of my buddies 67 Chevy (lays frame and blows flames) He is a part of Severed Ties...dont know if u have heard of them...pretty exclusive truck club. But anywho - just figured it would give u an idea or two...oh...and as far as the wheels go...look for maybe some 4-lug VW wheels from like 68-79 same 4-100 bolt pattern, and I think they would look good painted red, with some moons and beauty rings...
Just my 2 cents!

OMG that is so weird! We just met a guy yesterday who said he used to be Pres of Severed Ties here in LV. He works at VIP mortors. :D

{Will....ok now that I know its an auto, seems a heck of a lot more easier to use. }

Not really rat rod, but is this satin black? This skyline looks so cool with the paint and chrome...

If youre going old school dont rice it out with flames and stripes. Look into getting a set of WORK wheels from Japan (Look on Ebay - They usually have em for the AE86 - 86 Toyota Corolla) Just make sure you get the right off-set for a front wheel drive car - some 15" wheels popping out with fender flares - all flat black - thats gangsta old school
