"rat rod" is a over used term ..
There are HOT RODS that just are in primer

See picture ..That is NOT a rat rod ..




The term "rat rod" is a lot like the term "muscle car", there is no agreement on what constitutes either and any attempt to define either becomes a personal opinion.

One defintion opf a rat rod is:
Rat rod - a vehicle with non-critical parts removed, primer-like paints, and period correct parts from a conglomeration of different makes and models.

By that definition a lot of the cars in this thread claimed to be hotrods are rat rods. Think "ratty" looking.





"ratty" looking by your observation , not by the person that owns it

You would never walk up to a person with a
AAR cuda with a flatblack hood and ask him why its not painted would you ?

Trust me, and its only my opinion
go up to this fella or one like it and call it
a "rat rod" ..be careful if you do , cause he will be upset ..rightfully so too


The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6
