Goes back to like your mother used to say-"if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"

Don't take it personal. Some folks just feel the need to crap all over things that aren't "main steam". I myself have seen many "rat rods" that I'd love to own. Some of them look like they'd be real fun to have. Also, you don't have to walk around them with a chamois all day. I do agree that they must be built safe, as with any vehicle.

"rat" rods aren't main stream?

what?!?!

thats the new wave. bolt a bunch of mismatched garbage on a car and call it done.

I'm from Louisiana like one of the previous posters and "rat rods" are most definitely considered garbage. That's the point of it right? Make it look as shotty as possible?

the only time a "radrod" is cool is when its a traditional, in which it wasn't a ratrod in the first place.


I can't wait for this "style" to go away.

Ratrod, hotrod, stock, resto, does it matter? Someone put time and money into it. Might not be your style. Why can't you just laugh and point from where your seated. I see no reason in responding to the post with a neg comment. It looks as if this board is turning into the "other forums" that get a kick outta bashing on the not so cool rides or ideas. Just sad...........

I can agree with that. I just love classic cars and trucks. I really don't care what style it is, if I think its cool thats all that matters what I think.lol At least thats all that matters to me. We all don't have to build the same things or have the same taste to have cool looking cars. I may not build things the way others would, but I totally understand they can say the same thing about my stuff.

I have a buddy I go to cars shows with and he is always trying to get my opinion about stuff he likes. I finally had to tell him man you can like that if you like it why are you worried about what I think. Enjoy the show man dang.lol

To the guy that posted that some high end car owners are snobs. Man I met many rat rodders and traditional hotrodders that are snobs also. People are snobs when they think their way is the only way to do things. If we all liked the same things it would be a carbon copy world.

Man, maybe the haters should start a conformist thread, bump your gums in there

I for one like to make my trucks my own. I'd like to build a rat rod in the next few years but I want to get through a frame off on the truck first. I've seen some awesome rats around these parts. I saw a video somewhere of a tri-five in olive drab with a military theme, kinda rat/custom. It had ammo cans on the stepsides and I think an LS swap.

That black and gray truck with the white walls is friggin' sexy!
