Let me see some Rat Rod engines

[G&R's57GMC]

I totally agree that vehicles poorly constructed, no mater the style, Have no place on the road.

However, Unique vehicles that show creativity, ingenuity and are well constructed do have a place on the road and in shows.

The term 'RAT ROD' was coined at a motorcycle show and some how became a generic term for vehicles that looked like rolling junk yards. Later applied to premiered vehicles with red wheels and white walls. Then to patinaed etc,etc,etc.

The rolling junkyard to me is an 'ART' car. But that term has already been applied to other vehicles with all kinds of stuff glued to them.

So here is my idea of a 'RAT ART' car

The second car/truck is speaking to me...rear engined or is it two? I'm cracking up that it has a kickstand!

I agree...I like the nice shiny cars in my garage, but I got a place in my heart for a nicely done rat rod...not the craigslist guy who is selling his 1989 Chevy Sprint/Nova that needs paint and has mismatched hubcaps.
To me this and OKGMC's uncle's car represent a proper rat rod...thought goes into it, and executed properly to ensure safety. Has to look visually appealing too. I will build one eventually. I am big on safety, so don't worry.
