Let me see some Rat Rod engines

i gotta agree with mr48. crap rods send the message to people that you can build an unsafe poorly executed and "ugly" car and be cool. sorry but thats not cool, and all that crap added just makes it worse.

Conversely, just because it has a flashy paintjob, externally looks nice, has a nice interior, etc doesn't always equate to a safely executed build either. I've seen numerous front clips installed on visually stunning vehicles that I sure wouldn't want driving around me.

BTW these are just two of the many AD ratrods I found:

But on the other hand, the rat rods at the local car show two weeks back looked all the part, obnoxious, bad welds, and I felt like I was going to get tetanus just walking by. The best was at the BurnOut contest. Of the two ratrods: one lost forward gears and had to be pushed away in shame, and the other lost the left rear wheel in mid burnout. Now that is funny.
