We have a little rat on the dash that disappeared once but showed back up under the seat. We have a little rat on the hood that has been many a mile through rain and sunshine and he is still there. We have got little critters that will run out from under the truck and make the crowds squeal. Just a fair warning though….do not stand behind the truck and look up at the big old rat….you may just get a surprise and get a little damp…….I will leave that one there. Check out my blog post about “my husband is famous” and you will see what I mean. Of course, that is the 3rd year in a row that RK and his creations have been on TV. We took the Truck and it was a big hit, so big that it was on TV one of the nights we were at the block party. One of the most memorable adventures was to Crusing the Coast 2019. When you go to Sonic the folks (young and old) love it. We have been to Rally’s and Parades and were the hit for sure. The doors turned out awesome and we even have our own “Rat Fink” logo. One of the additions was the “cheese still” and of course there were a few rats added. paint cool pictures on the doors and we took off a few things and added a few things to make it ours. We had a fun time fixing it up and decorating it. It was going to be a cool little adventure and the RAT FINK was born. Yes it had a few things that needed to be tweaked, but RK was right on it. Once we were home, we had time to survey our swap meet purchase. Jimmy helped us find a spare tire and eventually we were back on the road with our treasure.

They put there money together and here we go……And before I knew it, the guy was smiling and unhooking the truck from his hippie van and we were going to get our truck to pull home our “new” truck.

But for all of you that know my husband, he sees vision in things that others don’t. I am like, I know I did not hear him say that. I know my mouth must have fell open like a broke mail box.
