    I drive my '65 Rambler daily, it's not a ratrod, but an unrestored original, that has seen better days..

    personally, I wouldn't drive that truck daily. even if those zoomies are muffled, there still going to attract attn to the local law enforcement if you drive it every day.. they will still be louder than acceptable

    Along with the way too loud exhaust, I think a set of front shocks would be advisable...and a thorough inspection to see what else was left off......

    At least the weather wouldn't hurt it . . .

    By the way, is it licensed in Texas? TX street rod laws aren't very frendly, and I can't imagine that one passing inspection.
