--------------HERE IS THE QUESTION:--------------------------

how can they hate/dislike rat rods and tout this as the premier hot rod show when a lot of the rods look like rats????

on these web sites people are showing pics of there traditional rods parked next to other rods and most of 'em look like the rats they don't like
I think the rub comes when "they" say "they" are doing it like it was done "back in the day". Now I ain't quite that old but, I've never known anyone who WANTED a rustycar with ugly rot and welds showing! Like you, it's just my opinion and while I can appreciate the creativity! I can't stomach the insane rooflines and some of the "crazy engineering"...
