Dead-on the money, and if we could just drop the mis-used and much abused term "g***er" in most cases, and subs***ute "street freak", a LOT of old guys would be a LOT happier. We could even delete the part about build quality, so it wasnt stigmatized.

 

98% percent of the cars that are being called "g***ers" right now are actually more influenced by '70s street freaks. All you have to do is dig out old magazines and take a look at the cars that are actually running in the gas cl***es in the mid-sixties and look at the photos, then do the same but look for street cars from circa '68-'73.

 

my 56 isnt a g***er period,and Im proud of the fact its a STREET FREAK,it was built in a time (70s) when this was the look on many streets and the g***ers were the influence,but if someone ever says my car is like a ratrod to my face Ill knock their teeth out! Our cars are mostly finnished and maybe over the top but not a POS ratrod like thing.FYI my 56 is safe and handles great at highway speeds and ok in the curves,,,,,,,,,

 

I dont see anything in my post where I have put any negative connotation on the term "street freak", actually I have said just the opposite. FYI, Try actually READING what I post.

"We could even delete the part about build quality, so it wasnt stigmatized. "

 

what I said was if someone comes up and compares my car to a ratrod we got a problem..................I did read what you posted and we have NOTHING in comon with ratrods,it was gator that was puttin us in that cl*** not you,read his post

 

Did I miss something? I do not see the word "rat rod" in anything I typed? As I have already posted, I even put in something about removing the references to "build quality" from the post I quoted.

I guess I wont end up on your jury, but you may wanna take your own advice.

 

dont see where I said it was you,Gator was callin us ratrods

 

Maybe not. The way I read it is that ratrods are to hot rods what Street Freaks are to G***ers. That is, they are both over the top versions of the originals.
I didn't read it as Street Freaks = Ratrods.

Right...

I guess we cant stay clear of the Rat Rods anywhere.

Not even on a cool Tread about Street Freaks.


Here is mine.

A Street Freak.

Off Topic for the HAMB.

And definately not a Rat Rod.
