Which one does everyone like best a Traditional Hot Rod or a Rat Rod?

Traditonal


Rat Rod

 

First off there are no Hot Rods in any picture there, "Hot Rods dont have valve covers" ie they have flat heads. now if you are wondering about Street Rods and Rat Rods then they are both lame in my book, I like Hot Rods.....

 

But Hot Rods did have valve covers. They put Buick Nailhead and Cadillac engines in them also.

 

rat rod are easy to maintain!!!no cleaning and/or waxing!!!!

 

if your talkin Ford Hot Rods, then they should have a flat head, othe wise its called a Street Rod. thats just what they are called....and dont get me started on fiberglass cars....

 

fiberglass cars rock!!!! so do street rods, and rat rods, and hot rods. how am I gonna pick just one!?!?!?!?!

 

fiberglass is not selling much anymore now that they are makeing all new steel bodies...for some reason it doesnt seem right to have a fiberglass body and/or a non flat head motor....but that is just my take on them, the best part about cars is every gets to do what they want.

 

rat rods are sooo ugly, they had a bunch of them at autorama this year and they all looked like crap. its got to be a California thing

 

now hold on here........not all of Cali can be put into one basket we are a big state! but there are a few of them running around...

 

I like both, won't argue semantics of the definition of each. Some rat rods can be just too "cheesy" though.
They can get out of hand when all the *****, switches and arms are used hand tools. I like the "cleaner"
rat rod that is just older dirty parts. I also like very clean hotrods, but I do like to see flatheads in them
whenever possible.

 

Rat Rod, Street Rod, Hot Rod - it really don't matter. I like 'em all.

 

There's a lot of great cars out there. Steve I been trying to talk to the wife into moving to CA. She said no I get into too much trouble as it is.

 

Hey - you can get in just as much trouble in North Carolina as you can here - maybe more!

Ask her if she might reconsider if you promise to behave.

 

Nah not much to do here. I would be trying to hang out at all the shops LOL

 

I'm a rat rod freak, something about surface rust floats my boat!
