Over at Ratrodbikes.com they've got another build off going. This time it's straight Ratrod. I'm going to get started this weekend. Entries close August 2nd. Rules below.

Participants should use their thread as a journal including write ups and photos.

1. You can only enter one bike in the build off (can change bikes once if needed)
2. Start a new post and use the bike name as the Subject.
3. Must use factory frame....no altering of original frame structure
(grinding off fender tabs and cutting seat tube height is okay, just no major frame design changes).
4. Bike must not already be built.
5. Must include before, progress, and after photos (all in one thread please)
6. Bike must be ridable.
7. Use any parts you like....mo rat = mo bettah!
8. Parts can be attached any way you wish (includes welding).
9. Paint must be applied by builder.
10. KEEP IT CHEAP...remember...IT'S A RAT ROD!!!!

Here's a couple of interesting looking builds so far.
