What the H is a rat rod anyway??? Well, it appears to be a return to the original hot rod
idea. Cars that are modified and assembled with very little dough. What might be lacking
in paint or chrome is more than balanced by an overall look of “cool”. This is something
that doesn’t cost anything and happens to be difficult to buy. The rich guys can buy most
anything they want, but they generally don’t create their own “cool”. Look around at the
cars and bikes……Once big money gets involved……the dream just dies out. The future depends
on the excitement of first timers…..Too much finish and chrome just makes the dream
seem unreachable…….Party on rat rodders and rat bikers…Keep cuttin up junk and makin
cool stuff……Krylon paint and a little rust, keep us interested……
