Thread: Funny Rat Rod at NSRA TAmpa, FL

The whole Rat Rod thing can be hard for a lot of guys to understand. The Rat Rod crowd will say they want to get away from Cookie Cutter cars and build with what they have. To use a group of electic parts in a amalgamation that is cool and works.

Well, that is cool thing as well as an obtainable goal, and from that "CAN" come some nice and inovative and different cars. As an example witness the Boober Trucks that have sprung from the "RAT" theme. Some of these Booper trucks are very cool and they are in many ways a new Type of Hot Rod not seen before at least not seen in there current form. That is a good thing.

And then there are cars like the one pictured here---well I guess you could call that mess a car, yea on a good day maybe. Nothing cool about throwing together a ton and a half of junk, in the most unsafe and "UN" pratical manner and calling it a Rat Rod. I guess that would be the difference between a Rat and just plan RATTY.

And Florida, you are mistaken about -- No Billiet, this clown even missed on that simple requirement of rat rods--- The air cleaner scoop is in fact Billet Aluminum.
