I don't either, but it's funny when you go to a car show and see all the super nice cars, then the rat rods look like they are held together with sheet metal screws and duct tape.

thank you, I don't mind the rat rod look as long as they are built with safety in mind. There is a lot of creativity put into them and then there are" what the hell were they thinking" lol

I've driven some stuff back in the day that would have made a finished Rat Rod of today. You are right, some of them are very interesting. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike them, it's more of don't understand the concept. That may be a good thing for me...lol.

I think that looks pretty cool. Even though it looks "crappy" there is allot of cool good work there! I'd drive the hell out of it!
