i think the rat rod is even more badass because he made it look that good, and why is it that grant can make some of the sweetest cars around but when you get a skin its all beat up, wavy, and dented (more than one skin). not to mention the booger welds if they put the plate box in it...SORRY TO BRING HATE TO SUCH A GOOD FORUM

I think the '37 made to look patina is rad as hell, that guy could have made that thing slick from top to bottom if he wanted. Instead he chose to do it all ratty and i applaud his efforts, i know the close minded only one way to do it traditionalist are boo hooin' about it, i say fuck em! The guy took a fresh approach to trendy ass style and made it work, so well infact, it landed him smack dab on the cover of street rodder. I have 2 of these cars and i can tell you steel or fiberglass, it don't fuckin matter! They are EVERY bit as time consuming a hard to build as a steel car. So the next time i hear one of these traditional trend jumpers start talkin shit about a car being glass, i say i'll put my glass cars up against any of em, performance, style, fit and finish, show points...whatever! When it all comes down to it, a bitchin' car is a bitchin' car! Remember when you dare to do something different, open your mind cause being close minded will get you nothing in the innovation department.
It has nothing to do with being closed minded or hating on glass, you and I have had many conversations of about glass/steel. And my '32 is glass, and I'm happy with that.
The problem is he faked historical heritage. Sure, It's good work, and the image it was trying to project comes off... but it just feels fake. to me, i guess, if i was trying to build a tradtional hot rod, i would build one from a tradtional hot rod.
I'm not trying to HATE or be pretecious that i'm a tradtionalist by anymeans. All i'm saying, is that i think it's weak. I don't doubt the amount of work, or the skill it took.
