So explain to me why you refer to your Rod as a " RAT ROD " as it has shiny paint, looks very well constructed with the Jag Suspension, leather interior, and a nice wooden deck ??? Your vehicle looks nice but it isn't my personal cup of tea as is but with fenders, running boards and a chevy grille would be toally different then you have here. Good Luck with your sale....

The reason this vehicle was termed rat rod is simply that it has touches of Ed Roths famous rat fink that is associated with custom rat rod/ street rod cars and trucks. I suppose the more proper term would be street rod, however I prefer show rat rod. I understand tho is not everyone's cup of tea and that everyone has there personal taste and an opinion. May we all have the opportunity to express our creativity through something we all love and enjoy so much; bad a$$ hotrods.

Whatever makes your heart go pitter-patter

So who is Ed Roth ??? What made him so special about building cars as, as you mention, we all have the ability to build something to expess our OWN creativity and not follow somebody else. I'm not being a smart arse here as I truly don't get why people refer to their cars as "Rat Rods " and it is a term I dislike but each to their own. Thanks for your reply though...
