There is a guy that comes to local car shows with what I think is an old Willys truck? It's not chopped and low but has the rat rod "patina" its built on an s10 frame/ running gear and has an LS1 I think. Anyway, the bumpers are big logging chain with the links welded together so it is solid and then smaller chain making stalk type things with the taillights mounted to them. I thought it looked pretty cool

That sounds awesome!

My buddy has one, it doesn't do anything for me. I also saw a bunch at a carshow in chicago years ago and I was unimpressed, those cars were built with a large budget to look like a poor person with a mig welder did the work.
That said, do what makes you happy and fuck everyone else.

Well it's probably stored for the winter, I'm sure he will bring it out again next year for the local shows. I will get some pics if I can

This is a good point, there are big budget rat rods paid for by people who know nothing about how to do any of the work, which I don't feel is a really the "essence" of what a rat rod is.
I feel like Brian will be actually building it himself with odds and ends found for cheap. That is what a true rat rod is.

I have a JB Welder in case you need some custom fab work.
Can you do full frames on a frame table?
