RAT ROD Fit??????????

[claymore]

I didn't think it possible BUT the freaks have come through again. Yep a rat rod fit complete with FLAT paint, massive aluminum dragging on the ground front bar, rainbow inside mirror cover and check the cartoon headliner . He should have left the old bent up fenders on it to complete the RAT ROD look.

It might make a good "little toy snow plow", but snow isn't a problem, ever, in most parts of Florida. Maybe he could make some pocket change from his city by driving down the sidewalks to remove lumps of chewing gum.

Then, he could afford even more bizarre interior and exterior mods.

It's a Rat Rod Fit road grader.

I like "Rat Rod". Other people have referred to our cars, affectionately, as "our little pigs" because of the low and slow characteristics. But too low, and badly modified, does make the butchered car look like a rat on wheels.

Sorry but I thought Everybody knew the term Rat Rod. What it is is a fad started in Calif (where else) where people build old time hot rods BUT build them to be the ugliest, falling apart, pieces of crap of all time. They started the flat paint trend and rusty hoods. They take the rattiest parts they can find and slap together a rolling pile of junk and are proud of it. Now the kiddies have started to copy the style on their fits sucking up the worse parts of the trend like rusty hoods, flat paint, and ugly front bars.

I never heard the expression before. The idea is retarded enough to fit a lot of people on some forums though.

Welcome freaks if you think this is other than a RAT ROD you are deluding yourselves. And making a perfectly good hood into a rusty pile of crap makes that two RAT RODS therefore "Kiddies" not singular kids.

ANY car with flat paint, mismatched paint, bent up fenders, ON PURPOSE, zebra stripped interior, scrapping the oil pan, and a funky aluminum snowplow blade front bar is and always will be a RAT ROD in anyone's definition. LOL add purposely rusted hood

I am not in to extremely lowered cars but I really like the aluminum front lip....There may be one mounted on my car in the future and possibly other functional aluminum pieces if I can find a place to purchase some at a reasonable price..... I don't need a snow plow because I have a blade on my tractor and it doesn't ever snow enough to even use it

I'm not really feeling FLAT flat paint, but I think satin can look good if it's executed correctly.

I love Satin Black, love it so much I painted my e36 that color
