Welcome from another Canuk. If you want to know about rat rods, go to the hamb. For god's sake do an introduction or lurk for a while before joining. They crucify newbies that don't introduce themselves. By the way, guys with rat rods prefer not to call them that. They feel it is a derogatory term. Old style hot rods is what they are. Devoid of billet and mega bucks. Usually safely built, but bare bones and in primer. Nutz

Hello The Al Show:

I started driving, and bought my first car in the 50s, so I recognize the genre.
I spent a couple of years building a 27 T coupe with a flathead V8, in the early 60s, but couldn't affort do finish it. If I can find the old black and white pictures, I'll put them up:-)
Here is a picture of my so-called-rod:-)http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/gr.../MyMonarch.jpg
