Cruis·ing; To drive around looking for friends or social activity. To travel about without a particular purpose or destination. To move through life at a comfortable pace.
It is! In fact, it's a "Refined Rat", a genre of rods somewhere between Rat Rods and Street Rods. It's for those who build a really well designed and executed Rat Rod (read; deep pockets) but leave just enough refinement off the finished piece to render it tastefully shy of "polished". It's an art of automobile building all unto it's own. Creativity, lots of money, skill and a vision equals coolness for sure. However, it takes away from the spirit of a true Rat Rod, ie; how cool can you build a cruiser on little budget and simple resources? So, at heart, are you a True Rat, or a Refined Rat, eh?
