Thread: is Gasser style considered a rat rod??

Tweet

I'm currently getting the lion's share of the parts together to turn my '56 Plymouth Belvedere 2dr post into a daily driver with gasser-inspired radiused wheelwells, a fairly large, fairly plain steel hood scoop, no front bumper, with mostly stock interior and a shiny, paint job using '60's era Mopar stock color of some sort. No radical modern graphics or color-changing paint. Period wheels, probably TorqThrust D's maybe Torqthrust D's in front, Ansen Sprints in the rear. I'm sub-framing it to get disk brakes and the sideways-mounted torsion bars to get the front end at the height that looks good once it's done, and am using a Schumacher kit to put a 440/TF 727 combo in it. I plan to call it "my car" and don't care what the anal nit-pickers pigeon-hole it as. BTW, there were quite a few 50's cars that were bona-fide "gassers" Henry J's, tri-5 Chevy's, even qhite a few Buicks.
