Just wondering if there are any Ratrodders in our HHR Ownership? not your HHR but old bucket owners

 

Rat rodding how? As in building a period correct, 50's style hot rod they way they were built in the day, or welding a bunch of rusty crap together and calling it a Rat Rod?

Rat Rod.....



Rusty POS.....

 

yep that covers most of the nice to the rusty, every owner has their preference I am finding out. My self, I would rather have the primer version, nicely built.

 

Same here. I really like a well done hot rod in primer. It's a no-nonsense look. Too bad it's degenerating into crap-on-wheels.

Gennie steel is expensive, I kinda like the ones done with old Jeeps.



That's the route I would go, most likely.

 

Here's what I consider a Rat Rod. Pre-war examples rarely have fenders and the opposite holds true for post-war vehicles.

 

That's pretty cool!

 

I'm digging this F-1, but looks a bit P/S'd No ?

 

Yeah, the carbs/air scoop,exhaust, and insignia in chrome strip on hood look to be p/s'd.

 

completly unless having your front tires running into the headers is a new fad

 

I just attended the Rhinebeck, NY car show, lots of rat rods.

I was thinking about getting a cheap old Caddy to rat out with black spray, but I wouldn't know what to do with the interior. I found this caddy on ebay that had the most god-awful interior I've ever seen, aqua green and tweed It's so ugly it's gorgeous. ebay item 220599754413
