yeah true rats are cobbed up from shit laying around. look on the video section someone linked to a bunch of videos from a big rat rod meet in LA. there were some bad ass rides.

I like to too, becasue you can build something bad ass for low $$. Just need some skills and a good eye for stuff around you to spark that “I could put that in my car” thinking.

I want to get a tub or cab, hack it up body drop it on a simple 2x4 frame. Weld on some mustang controll arms or something from a IFS car at the junk yard. Pull a carbed motor from something and make my own ss headers that are obnoxous and lay that bitch out. if it doesnt do more than 40mph before it rattles itself apart I am golden, just something to creep by quiet neighborhoods laying frame.
