    thanx guys sorry about the being young part I was just born in the wrong era .

    My ideal rat rod is like a for coupe or four door that as been chopped and lowered(but not always) and between the years of like 23-40. Fat tires in the back and thinner ones in the front. A V-8 with manual trans. I dont want something thats all cromed up and tricked out because I intend on driveing it everyday during the summer atleast during the winters I am away at college like I am now. But I figured I should start pulling some ideas together cause you never know where or when u might find something that is perfect. And money I don't have I work myt ass like everybody else. Tools I can use the local highschools and my paretns have a couple of friends who own repair shops and garages. As far as experience little but I am learning and am loving doing it.

    Sounds more like your looking for a street rod than rat rod. But either one could be called the other.

    Like Don's said Young isn't bad we'er just jelous
