Rat Rods
Rat Rods seem to be all the rage nowadays. Classic car enthusiasts snub them and our wives dread them. Rat Rods are ugly, rusty and fast. Many rat rod enthusiasts spend countless weekends and nights working on their
rat rod project cars just to get a few precious hours to show off their rats rods to other enthusiasts and brag about their four-wheeled dreams.
Rat Rods On Wikipedia
A rat rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. It is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "traditional" hot rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a hot rod from the same era.
Most rat rods appear "unfinished" (whether they actually are or are not), with just the bare essentials to be driven.
The rat rod is the visualization of the idea of function over form. Rat rods are meant to be driven, not shown off. Sometimes the customization will include using spare parts, or parts from another car altogether.
