    Another Canadian eh...

     



    Found this place while looking for a definition of "ratrod". My completely stock 53 Monarch is not exactly a hotrod, but I would have thought it was in 53...LOL
    I still haven't found a definition for "ratrod":-)

    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:
    OK, I think I have the picture now...LOL
    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:-)
