I understand the need for "appreciation" of your efforts on your car, and all I can say is that if your car is built right and someone wants to call it a gizmo... take it as a compliment. BTW, take a minute to read Bob's link above and you'll get a good feel for how folks should treat each other around this forum.

P.S. get your computer fixed so you can post some pic's of your rat rod
I guess I made it long enough to be an old geezer I'm 61. In 1968-I drove a 31 Ford coupe flat black, it had a 283 Chevy 3 speed, 57 Chevy rear, good brakes. To me it was just a hot rod the term Street Rod had not come into play yet that was at least the Street Rod Nationals hadn’t started yet. Today some of what people are calling Rat Rods are getting pretty modern some not all and they are keeping the look. I saw one sedan the other day unfinished for $35,000 to me that’s getting more then just putting on old parts. I like all old cars but I would not drive anything if it was not safe, I’d like to stick around to be a little bit older geezer. I have a 39 Chevy 1 and 1/2 ton farm truck I would like to take the cab off and make it a pickup, I hope in the future I can get some advice. I have a 76 Chevy ½ ton pickup I would like to put the 39 on the chassis if it would work.
