damned rat rods

this shit makes me sick








this on the other hand is a pretty badass door panel

I'm with you on the 1st one but I have a soft spot for any 29-31 tudor sedan..yumm

Okay, I can maybe, kinda, sorta squint an see something cool about the second one, but the first one...wtf?

I mean, really...a gate hinge on the door?

C'mon, dude.

Seriously, WTF?

Seen one in person the one day. Axle welded on top of frame rails. Cut up wrenches welded for braces. Holes in floorboard. Couldn't have been one bit safe. And it looked absolutely horrible.

In the early days of the "rat rod" movement, there were actually some pretty cool ideas comming outta that camp.

Now it just seems to be a contest to see who can come up with the shittiest, duct taped together, half assed death trap.

the 2nd one has potential.... i mean he did at least tak the time to tape out and spray a spade on the RADiator



i have actually seen the wrench thing pulled off nicely.... BUT they actually put some time into it to make it look worth a damn, ill see if i can find the pics of it.

i can only imagine what people are gonna say about our rides in about 40 or 50 years from now...

I guess that all depends on who's ride they're referring too.

*whistling*

the first one should be burned to the ground, the second one isnt to bad and that door panel is pretty sweet.

heres some more for yall:


idk if you would consider this a rat rod but I will throw it in anyways:

i hate rat rods.
