Thread: Rides " Ratrods"

Well, if we're going to get around to corrections....................

Ultimately, for those who were out at the refer getting a brewsky, the only part of the A frame they ended up using were the front sections ahead of the firewall. They didn't make mention of it, but the rest of the frame was fabbed from 2X3 box tubing with a round tube crossmember in the rear. What impressed me about it was their use of gussets and fish plates at the Z's, very well done.

Also, it was unlicensed and running open headers, at least to make it to that show in the park.

As for the "rat rod" name, Weesner (the artist) attributed that to Gray Baskerville, from Rod & Custom, who planted the name on them despite their protestations. It was the guy, Deron, who owned the '32 3 window, who has whining about the "plastic car" guy's attitudes. Ironically he had to display his own version of "eliteism" in his "rant".
