Re: Local Rat Rod...
Its has a name...its called build what you like and screw everyone else....We carjunkies always do the "what would we do if it were ours" thing...I do it all the time.....there were hundreds at the show last night who shared that very thought with me about my car....

Re: Local Rat Rod...
Maybe it's all part of a new, as yet unnamed style. It's not ratrod, because it was built too well, it's not traditional by any means, it's not street rod because it's too friggin ugly, it's not hot rod because it's really just an artistic statement of bad taste.
We just need to figure out what to call these things..
"dazed and confused" seems to fit, how about we call them DNCs?

Re: Local Rat Rod...
I'll second the contemporary beater.
I like some of the 'rat rods", but it's wearing kinda thin, like the Pro Street and Pro Touring thing did...too many people flat-blacking some tub of shit and saying "Hey man, it's a Rat Rod!"......kinda morphing into what annoyed me about the billet crowd.
Maybe I'm just grumpy today....LOL.....but that little truck does have potential.Leave a comment:

Re: Local Rat Rod...
He needs to decide if he wants a retro rod or a contemporary beater. It's closer to the later. Even so, I call violation on...
The grille
The hood scop
The carb
The wheels (maybe...but totally wrong on the spinners)
The dip stick
The license plate frame
The mesh bed cover
The headers (straight tubes into a Cherry Bomb with chrome tips?)
The chrome alternator
The seats
I will, however, give credit to:
The overall stance
The remote radiator
The windshield
The headlights
The little lights in the ends of the bedrailsLeave a comment:

Re: Local Rat Rod...
I like it. Not sure about the grill and the scoop. AC won't work too well with no back or side glass.Leave a comment:
