outamoneygotshitparts.com It's obvious that you don't like rat rods with that reply. If you don't like them don't look at them, but there's no need to diss on them to other people that do like them or have an interest in them.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

You can't "unlook" something when it's right in front of you.

Once again reality sets in, there is no universally agreed upon definition of "rat rod". If thought and craftsmanship is involved it's not a rat rod, it's merely an old school hot rod.

On full Custom garage when Ian Roussel was building that custom, when he pulled off his work boots and removed the steel toes to make vents now that's RAT ROD.

If thought and craftsmanship is involved it's not a rat rod, it's merely an old school hot rod. one thing forgot time and again,is the fact "old school" hot rods were seldom "finished" because most guys didn't have much money. there were, however, many , many "finished" cars, so reality sets in again as john said, confusing the issue even more. thought and craftsmanship is very easy to see and comprehend, and that is the first thing i look for. and it's getting better and better with each passing year.

Ya, todays "rat rods" are kind of a made up thing. The definition, like "streetable", is pretty much up to the individual. Some are a good representation of the hot rods of old and some are just a clobbered bunch of parts. If you ain't over 60, you probably don't know the difference - and don't care. Those that are "tastfully" done are pretty cool. Unfortunately, those that seem to draw the largest crowds at shows are the clobbered bunch of parts ones. I guess everyone sees art in different ways? I see a lot of young people in to the 50's - 60's custom scene also. Same kinda thing. I can dig all of it if it's done to my individual liking. It's all car stuff, and that's good. Kept me out of the bars and doing bad stuff for most of my life.

outamoneygotshitparts.com I like looking at them, would not want one, and I can appreciate the above quote as that is what they look like to me. It would be nice not having to look for a safe parking spot or worry about my baby when its "out and out of sight"....
