I watched it as well. Thought it was a good show and even the guy's building the car said they didn't like the term "Rat Rod" because of the negative conitation. They did say they were starting to except the term as they were hearing it more often? If I'm not mistaken I belive the motor was a flat six and not a V8? I too liked it because it was more on my level and not the Mega Shop like some of the other shows. I however was not impressed with the wood floor but they did say they were building a period car and that is what they would have done back in the day.
