Has anyone out there done a 914 rat rod, or have any photos of an example?

You know the "Steam Punk" look.

Some inspiration...
This was dreamed up and built in 8 months of spare time. The details are amazing.

surprised the vw crowd hasn't "upgraded" a 914 with a roofrack and some useless old suitcases ...although I do like some of the deep steelies and extreme camber mods.

One of my friends' wives is into steam punk and it can be pretty cool in terms of house ornaments like lamps, table legs, etc. but in terms of cars I've always found it super over the top. Rat rod stuff is supposed to be "driven hard and put away wet."

Steam punk is more like the movie "Wild Wild West"

Rat rods are more like this car on my brother-in-law's farm...if I were to get it running and take it to a gathering:

I appreciate pretty near every form of art and usually keep my opinions to myself.

But that just looks stupid. I cannot discern any redeeming value to that disaster on any level.

OK to ban me now if you wish for this indiscretion, I will go back under my rock now.

why? what's wrong with a matching spare rim on your roof rack and a bumper guide on the rear fender?

Said like a true Narpster.....

But I still kind of like it..............

I think there is a simular looking car on the Restoration Design video intro.

Its Ok though if you don't like it, as the saying goes "Its a free country"
