just a tip... try running your rod with all the lug nuts... it'll help preserve your new paint job from guard rail rash!
I'm with southpark here...this is a rat rod. If you're going to post pics of a a rat rod on the HAMB you can expect to get flamed. We've been through this a million times....there are other forums where cars like this will be better appreciated.
BOY!! If I ever decide to post pictures of anything I have any pride in I wont post them here! The RUDE factor is high here!
no I know the difference..i think its just because he didnt do it the way you would have..so you dont care for it.. have you ever had a work in progress? or ever hear of it? havent seen yours or southparks yet
OK, so you're just an asshole with no manners... noted. I bet you probably even think that's cool. OK, whatever. I guess there's a jerk like you in every crowd. We all have to start somewhere, and every damned one of us is proud of our ride... does it make you feel better to degrade his ride because the door is a lil rough? At least he has a car that's drivable, and that is commendable. I'm betting he's not gonna leave it like that forever, but it's pretty cool that he can drive it until it gets finished.
All this for my mirror , the sedan is mjne the truck is not, we painted them together so i threw on a pic of the truck.
I think they both look like shit. Go ahead and put the name of your body shop on the door, that way everyone will know where not to go. Rusty firewall, wrinkled door, and super wide radials; awesome. But hey at least the motor is purdy. And keep in mind, you asked for opinions. And you can click on my sig to see what I've worked on.
its ok man..we havent seen their projects either.. fuck the mirror..like that personifies the car anyways? they just dont feel adiquate enough so they have to come on here all ruff and ready,
yeah but come on..like you havent ever riden around in a work in progress? if not, glad your stacked with cash and time..some of us are not..hes still working on it..he didnt say "hey guys im done what ya think?"
Ya I have, but I didn't come on here posting pictures of it and getting annoyed when it wasn't recieved well.
Defisch whats up with the door? You should have seen mine took a day to bring back to a recognizable shape using a wet rag and torch.. What exactly is going on there is it bondo or dented metal?
well than he aint you..but you shure could give him the benifit of the doubt couldnt you? we all are proud of where we get with what we have..some have less than others..i can accept that
Ya know after all this bantering back and forth. I went back and looked at both vehicles real close. And I don't see rat on either one of them. A few wrinkled panels maybe a missing lug nut. C'mon guys you know what a real rat looks like. And there's more quality in both these cars than most rats i've ever seen. Granted I'm no expert....ghost
Yes, the door should have been fixed, but, I wanted to make it look nice for now. I need a cowl so was thinking that when I got that, I would work more on the rest of it. Thanks for the support.
I have a question.... how is this a rat rod? It doesn't have any baseball sized rust holes in it and as far as I can tell there isn't any 1/2" thick weld beads on top of rusted bolts for pivot points or steering linkage made out of used toilet paper rolls? I thought that was what made a rat rod? This just looks like a street driven hot rod to me.
