Thread: New Here, New to Rat Rods. My New Truck

Tweet

I generally am turned off by the term "Rat Rod", but that looks like a nicely built truck. I like the grille, too! Not sure what you mean by "rat rod wheels & tires" - the steelies you have now are period correct, and fit the "look" very well, IMO. Maybe a different color on the wheels?? I would just drive it!

I guess you're right, but when one presses the "Today's Posts" everything new pops up, and the category they're in is pretty much lost. No one pays much attention around here which categories things are posted in, and besides, I'm saying that your truck is not what I think of when someone says "Rat Rod", which too often is built purely for shock effect without regard for safety. It's a cool truck, but you seem to be offended by my comments so I'll bow out.

Welcome to CHR, by the way, and I hope you'll stick around and post more pictures as you make the truck yours.
