Sorry no RAT RODS here

 

It's as cool as **** tho.ummmmmmmm i gather people here think the term rat rod is an insult.Over here we use it as a term for a car thats well built and well engineered but dressed down to look a little rough.Rough cars that are truly rough and are not engineered but slung together are called dogs as in dog ruff lol............ so should i re***le it let me see ya well engineered but rough looking hotrods? nah i think not if nobody wants to show me thier rat rods pait fine but theres as much prep goes into a real good satin job as in a good plain colour job if it's done right..........Marq

That is a real live rat *****. Turns out, you really can find anything on the Internet.

I doubt this is what Al Gore hoped I'd use the Internet for when he invented it.

Good call Jim. Just thinking about Al's invention today.

 

Tiny,

Post more pics of your truck. That shot gives me wood.

You might call them Rat Rods Marq....I don't.

I really hate the terminology.

I've been building , buying , selling Traditional style Hot Rods for nearly 20 years and the phrase wasnt around until fairly recently.

I have a theory , not unique to me , that the term 'rat rod' has been coined by the repro parts and after market industry to undermine a growing trend that they consider to be a threat to the business of selling repop parts.
When we started with the 'LOW FLYERS' we were referred to in the magazines as the 'growing one per-cent'. I reckon at least 40% of an English show is now traditional 40's and 50's style cars !!!
**** 'EM !!!!!

 

"But daddy, it's Ratt, I love them"

"Ratt, I'll show you a Rat"

"No daddy, Noooo!!"

-Ratt

 

"You're struck by lightning....You're In LOVE!"
