Git your rusted (um patina) crap out of here

They look like they are about to have a blast. In the end, that's what it's all about. Man, how I would like to be along for that ride.

 

woah...I hear ya on the RR thing, but for some of us paint is a luxury and is more than a year away.

 

hey forty, how's the pin on that grenade you're holding in your mouth?

my tudor is going to be in primer so that i can drive it while i finish the body work and i'll paint it next year. hot rods usually happen in stages man. seriously, chill the **** out man. there aren't many rat rods around here because many of us do our best to keep them away. what you're seeing asround here is an in-progress-traditional-hot-rod. if you can't tell the difference, go away. btw, looks like the one in your avatar is in black primer...

 

Yeah, this thread is Gaaaaaaaaayyyy!

 

Please tell ALL of the hot rod world how YOU dictate how WE should build them???? I thought building rides was about individuality???? If it isn't, then I need to go over to muscle cars, because at least restoring something is written how you are suppossed to do it.

Let it sit another year while you build it? Screw that. Another year you could have enjoyed burning fuel through it, rather then showing friends "just pics". Make it safe, then drive it or paint it, but if it's YOUR car,,,,,YOU DECIDE. I'm more tired of "flat black" then rust.

 

yall dont get this post!


Ah what the hell im gonna sand my primmer off my 40 and let it rust!

 

Maybe Patina=next stage to paint, or not, so whats your beef?

 

They've been here before us,probably be here after were gone.

 

Oh boy

 

Sounds more like YOU DON'T GET IT.

 

?????

 

Seems that everyone hates rat rods. I'm not sticking up for anybody, but what exactly is the definition of a rat rod? I agree a car should be safe, but black primer makes it a rat rod? By the way, an unmolested car with some rust showing through does not look bad. It shows that it has survived all these years.

 

I was always under the impression that true Hot Rodding was a way an individual can express himself. So if you want to build a car where the roof is only 25 inches off the ground, more power to ya. Personally, I think some of these extreme chops and channels are kind of cool.

What scares me is the poor craftsmanship that goes into a lot of these cars. I always like to check out the Rat's at every show I attend. But it's getting harder to do. Whenever I take a closer look, I cringe with fear for the life of the poor ******* that drives the thing. Where has the pride in workmanship gone? Just because you are working out of your garage with limited resources doesn't mean you need to fab like a 10 year old.

HellRaiser - Sweet truck! But, it's not painted - must be a rat!

Seriously, I like that ride!!!

 

So this is just another Rat Rod ****ing bashing thread.Jeeeez already

 

This is the 40 pickup that "FortyPickup says he bought. Hmmmm..not enough money left over for paint?




Oh by the way, the HELLRAISER is still in grey primer, not all shinney, still want to call it a POS Rat Rod?

LOL! You're funny man! Tell us another one! LOL!
I do like the primer tho! You gonna paint it this week? LOL!

 

Where are the hamb oldtimers when you really need them????

 

Exactly! I've seen what were pretty nice-looking cars from a distance, turn out to be rolling disaster areas - a wreck waiting for the cops! Conversely, I've seen cars that really needed help in the overall appearance department, really shine in the ch***is work, the engine detail, or the interior scheme. Again, safety and safety are the two most important things in building any car - cosmetics are exactly that!

 

as long as it's done in traditionally good taste.

 

HellRaiser, I like yours the way it is too!

 

Ya. Clean it up and paint it. Then I could be one of "those guys" that spend all day saturday polishing my preaty paint and armor alling my tires. Then take it downtown so ***holes who couldn't tell a 9/16 from a 1/2in wrench can pick it apart. People can pick apart my original paint car all they want, cuz I don't give a rat's *** what you or anyone else think of it.
Ha!!
Felt good saying that...

 

Holly ****....Badd *** truck!

It will get an anodic Black paint finish with a flame job up front and a brushed aluminum paint on the box cap!

Thank ya very much

By the way Ive had the Pickup for 28 years

 

Please "fortypickup" just go away.I would rather drive now worry about paint later.last i looked this is not a beauty contest. here is my flat black/rusted truck and i dont give a rats *** what people think i LOVE it

 

take a deep breath...take it easy...take it easy

 

So do I!!!

 

sweeeeeet!!!!!

 

BOUGHT?????? LMFAO. Bought and dictating others ways to build? If that's the truth,,,,,,,,,, ZERO respect.

 

I believe this is forty's truck and I also believe dragstars are '90's taditional.
