While I'm somewhat new to the rat rod community I'm not new to taking a little extra time to do something you're not supposed to do. I thought one if the biggest points of rat rods is using parts you have and modifying them to work in an unconventional way. I already have these parts. I bought...

Willowbilly3, I was thinking of the best way to reply and noticed your signature which happens to be perfect in this case! Spindles and suspension mods are a little different blocks and cylinder heads.

While growing up I remember almost every car in the hotrod magazines were in California. I saw a lot of hotrods cruising around while there. From what I've learned so far is it's the 1973 and later models that get all the pressure. Half Moon Bay is about 20 miles from the airport, where I'll...

Went to San Francisco this weekend. Got to meet the boss, tour the shop, and visit different areas that we might be interested living in. We're really liking Half Moon Bay!!! Not a bad drive from the airport, nice forests, beautiful coast, cool downtown, and nice hills/mtns. The job seems...

I have 10 projects and 1 ****ed off wife. Maybe it's better to have 1 project and 10 happy girl friends?

I'll hold his beer! :D Guess most of y'all have seen the quote "Hold my beer and watch this"

SinnerS hot rods, Can I borrow your helper? Nice job on the wishbones! R Pope, Ain't gonna work is the way I will go :). I already have the parts. It's gonna have to work! I might have a buddy test drive it though =)

Who has built their own? Any Suggestions? I have an early 30's Ford Axle. I'm gonna fit 2005 GTO Spindles and Brakes on. I thought I had everything. Motor, Trans, Body, Rear Axle Assembly, Tires/Wheels,Brakes.. Forgot about Wishbones. I'd like to design something different then the norm...

Moving around the country for work. Taking on other projects. I have 10 cars at the house. I aim to get on it this summer but looks like I'm taking the job opportunity in Northern California so another move. But, I'll have warmer weather year round to hit the projects. We're at 9000 feet...

After getting my License, and even a year or two before, I had the choice each morning of driving an '87 Mustang 5.0 or a '65 chevy short bed with a 327. It was real tough.. Then my dad pulled me up out of the crunch by buying me an 1980 something s-10 pickup with a 4 cyl and 200+ miles on the...

I appreciate all your input guys! Each of us has to choose our own path in life and look ourselves first in the mirror. We gotta be true to ourselves... As Rat's especially we not the type to be put in a box or be lead around without our own thinking. I'm very opportunistic and not afraid of...

Maybe I'm wrong but, I take the stance of nothing is cut and dry and there's ways to get around... And, if I'm right, I don't want some ***holes keeping me from living in what I call paradise.

Fellow Rats, I value your unpopular opinions and I wanted to see what you think. We have a very unique home in the mtns overlooking Denver and 14k ft. mountains. But, the wife doesn't appreciate the snow and cooler weather. She's from Tx.. She had me suckered into moving to the Austin, Tx...

After seeing the first Rat I got the same weak in the knees feeling after seeing the first good looking old lady while my first pub-hair was sprouting. I more I see regular, square, broad is the way goers getting offended by Rats, the more I love them. Regular=diarrhea, square=coffins, both...

Yeah, I've been to the Golden run but, not enough yet. I heard about one. Probably the same. Is it orange?
