Rat Rod - Whats That ?

A Rat Rod is an older car or truck that's still roadworthy but has been stripped down to basics and then rebuilt (usually) with accessories and parts that date approximately from the same period as the original car. This is the Premier Rat Rod Website (first and still the best !) on Squidoo . A Rat Rod may end up a LOT stripped down - missing fenders and hoods are commonplace ! The car ends up very much as an expression of the owners taste and lifestyle. The STYLE is important - everything should pull together into a dream auto. This can be anything from bikers style through Greaser style to any other 30's style or later. It doesn't have to be a car or pickup though - bikes are just as valid ! Its basically the ultimate in auto personalisation 0h.. and its FUN !!!
