Re: Let me see some Rat Rod engines

The junk wagon that G&R's57GMC posted several photos of in Post 6 belongs to a local guy who actually owns a "street rod" shop and is a second or third generation street rodder. While looking like hell the car is pretty well built under all the added on junk. I'd estimate that he has three or four hundred pounds of scrap iron added to the car for "effect".

Personally I try not to take photos of those cars and I don't post photos of them along with editing them out of photos of cars next to them that I do take a photo of when I can. I am not doing at to be a snob but I strongly feel that those cars send the wrong message to future car builders who might think that slapping a car together crudely without concerns of safety and then driving them is ok.
