In my opinion, the whole rat rod thing is so vintage, in a good way of course. Yeah, there's no kidding that a cherry '57 Chevy, or '34 Ford are both amazing cars, but it is kool to see a rat rod in the crowd. As of now i'm doin' a '69 el camino restoration, but the following project will hopefully be a '51 Merc. That nostalgic style is coming back. Primer black paint and whitewalls, big white headers. Now that's a nostalgic rat rod.
