    Hi Guys
    Been around interesting cars all my life and finally turned my hobby into a job 6 years ago and now run my own small business, building and working on cl***ic and race cars.
    I drive a 1941 Chevrolet pickup as my daily (deisel at the moment, I'm afraid - don't shoot me) and own a 1954 Ford Customline with a big block a****st others.

    welcome!,

    don`t worry about the screen name, sure , very few people here like rats, and its not really the place for it. But, it seems like its used more as a reason to jump all over somebody then a legitamate gripe.
    If rats are really your thing you may feel more at home at killbillet.com. I dont want you to think your not welcome, its just that there are other options that might be more to taste.

    again, welcome!

    In the olden days a Rat Motor was a Chevrolet, A Blown Big Block Alky Rat , would have been a Blown Big Block Akly Chevrolet engine, So in this case the word rat was not a bad thing. The Chevy boys came up with this wordage at least here in Chi Town. It's a more recent thing that a rat would be interpreted as a rat rod. So I say welcome to the HAMB Chevrolet Boy 54.

    Welcome rat boy, I also would like to say I am in no way offended by your use of the word "rat". It has a better ring to it than check book boy. Any way, again welcome from Az.
     
  11. First of all welcome from Arkansas. I ,personally, don't care what anyone calls themselves. Hell you can call yourself Rat **** for all I care. :p
