No offense taken, not even a little bit. I took your comments as a compliment.

I like the Rat Rods, they draw a crowd everywhere they go. A lot of folks refer to my 50 as a Rat, I thank them for the attention and move along. I'll post a picture tomorrow, I need a new one anyway.

A good friend of mine has a 31 Ford coupe (Rat Rod), the car has been driven from the ocean front in Va Beach to the ocean front in LA and back with no issues what so ever. The car looks like a pile of junk but believe me, it's safe and solid as a rock. He has tens of thousands of miles on it to prove it.

thats the one, i would hate to think how many hours that took

i think it would be even better with 73-78 bezels. i dont like the 79-80 ones that go around the turn signals.

im gonna have to agree with you there, it makes it a little less fancy, but on the other hand i love the railroad trim, i wish my trick was a little older so i could rock it, the later trim had a lot less imagination to it

As for Rats.......

You can't see the pride and craftsmanship in what S10Fan showed? Look at those headlight housings. Just remember,you build what you want and that guy built what he wanted. This is a rat rod thread. These are rat rods. I hate to see surgery being performed,so I don't watch that stuff on tv.
