My dad IS tougher than your dad! Seriously though, Dave has a point. What does it matter what a rat rod, a street rod or a t-bucket classifies as? the whole point of having a hot rod is to have some fun with it. And weather that means a 43 jeep with a 500 caddy, a 70AMX with a 390 or a monte carlo with a 305 and rusted fenders, if the owner enjoys it and likes to drive it, who are we to judge? After all, we not the ones driving them.
