    i like rat rods and everything but it doesn’t take that much effort just a good imagination... and thats just the thing the guys who where stopping are like late 50-70 years old.

    That would be folks my age. I stop and look at them too. Can't believe someone would take all that time, effort, and money and intentionally make something look like crap!!!! Hope you're not falling for the BS line that sez "that's how they were back in the day", cuz that is NOT how they were built!!!!! As far as lots of folks looking at them, heck, look at how big a crowd a traffic wreck draws!!! The bigger the wreck, the bigger the crowd!!!!!!!!!!

    I use to think the same way about Rat Rods but after checking them out I think their kinda cool! Exagerrated? Sure! but aren't all Hot Rods in one wayor another! This is just a different flavor! I saw this one at Columbus Good Guys!
