Not really into rat rods, but...

... I've got to give them props for creativity and artistry. This one showed up late (and loud!) at the car show I was at Sunday and before it was even parked, about 3/4 of the crowd was heading toward it. After most of the crowd moved on, I took these pictures. I'm still finding little do-dads in the pictures that I didn't notice on the car Sunday!

not bad. im not too fond of the dirty rats but the ones in like flat black (or painted ones in general), yes.

I enjoy ones that have a theme and sticks to it. I will always prefer a painted car over a case of welded up rolling tetanus, I think the guys that build them have mad fab skills and I wish they would complete the vision by painting them in some fashion, even if it is a a faux-tina paint scheme. I think these cars look much better with some sort of paint on them, rather than just rust. You've this much thought to your project, why stop at this point?

Interesting ratrod you found Stratman.

Not my bag either but do respect some of the workmanship.

I don't care to much for the run of mill throw a Chebby in it and call it done,

I like to see Flat-heads, Olds-Rocket, Nail-heads & other engines used to complete the ratty theme.

I saw my first OHC Powered rod sometime ago and was very impressed. Since then I have come across others.

Some cool and well made and some just well...

Love the Deuce with the Webers... that motor would be totally awesome in a '67 or '68 Firebird!

There are some good rat rods out there but a lot are not my cup of tea, just like you fellas.
