    I was told previously (by younger members) that a street rod is "any car modified for performance".

    They threw out the old standard that pre World War ll was a street rod, and post WWll was a street machine, and wrote a new rule! Now their gonna have to live by it!!!

    By logical deduction: If any year can be a street rod, then any year can be a rat rod! >:-)

    It seem's like most Rat Rods are from the 40's or 50's. Then I'll see a '72 station wagon that someone is calling a Rat Rod.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    I agree. I think if it is from the 20's through the 40's it is a Rat Rod. After that, it is a "Rat CUSTOM."

    ...and if it's a stock bodied car, it's a "resto rat". :-)~

    Ive always liked the fact that nobody ever likes to park near me
    Never have to worry about rain
    Taxes each year are the price of a movie rental(or less)
    Cant speed for fear of fenders blowing off
    Go to the parts store and not worry about oil stains on interior
    Hitch hikers look the other way
    and
    Cherry bombs are cheap!!
