Good for you. Have fun here, you'll learn a ton and get some support. FYI, the term "rat rod" and "Ratz" and all that jazz is a negative term here. Generally because far too many very nice "traditional" hot rods get labeled that term by people that don't know any better because they've read Ol skool rodz a couple of times. No worries. People grow past it and realize that Rat rods are the bread crumbs to real rods. Regardless, welcome and I hope you find what you're looking for here!- DB
