Local Rat Rod...

Re: Local Rat Rod...

a guy that draws on his car with chalk probably has alot of fun with it and isnt sweating details like an accurate scoop or dipstick. im suprised noone hates the fact that it seems to be done in blackboard paint and he actually uses it.

Re: Local Rat Rod...

The only thing I see that is in really bad taste are some of the comments in this thread. GMAFB, Violation game :, the guy didn't ask to get his car's picture taken and posted on a board so a bunch of guys can dogpile on his machine.

I just like the way a Nail Head looks. To me any vehicle with an open engine compartment needs a Nail Head engine.

Re: Local Rat Rod...

That truck isn't nearly traditional enough to waste a perfectly good nailhead on....

Re: Local Rat Rod...

why a nailhead?

My guess would be the cool old school look of a nailhead....

Re: Local Rat Rod...

Yeah, you're right, Joe! Maybe a better way to look at it would be as untraditional, innovative, etc.

The only problem is that it's hard on the eyes of those who have been doing this for a long time and have limited asthetic tastes.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess...it goes against the grain of what the most would do....Kinda like building a multi use race truck ;)

but multi-use race trucks are pimps? you wouldnt think a c10 that runs 200mph and turns(i mean Actually turns...) plus looks semi good while doin it is not the pimpinest thing ever? maybe its because of my different tastes that the truck seems like the idea of the year to me

Re: Local Rat Rod...

Or you have different taste.....

Re: Local Rat Rod...

Reading the comments...it appears as though I have no taste....

Re: Local Rat Rod...

I'm no connoisseur but I'd through a Nailhead in it and leave it as is. Ok well maybe the license plate frame can go too.

Re: Local Rat Rod...

I like it for what it is. if it were mine I would change a few minor things, but I think its pretty cool as it is.
