Ok, been on here for a couple weeks, better get myself intro'd. My names David and I have a '31 Chrysler. I've admired rats for quite some time from the "other side" of the car shows and appreciate the hard work and individuality they show. I used to own a '62 Impala that is a beautiful, shiny car. But I got tired of the same old same old and all the polishing and worrying about driving it anywhere and getting a scratch or even a smudge on it. I wanted a rat and couldn't have both so I got rid of the Impala (I still get a little sick to my stomach thinking about it sometimes) and I'll go ahead and say that I got the Chrysler as is, but there's alot of work to do and quite a bit to re-do that wasn't done the way it should've been so I'll be busting knuckles on it too. It has a 350 with a 350 turbo and pretty much no interior yet including most of the floors but come a little warmer weather I'll be all over those projects. Love the site and have gotten lots of info and ideas and inspiration already! Anyone around the Louisville, KY area look me up at shows cause I may need new friends to hang with cause I don't think all my old car show pals are gonna want me parking around them anymore! haha
Here's the pics I know I'd get asked for if I didn't post them, along with one of my Impala.

Good looking "Walter P"[dr I normally like most everything chopped but there's just something "Right" about the look of that thing with the tall top[cl[cl
Nice score and nice to be ready to cruise when the season hits. Glad you got rid of that crappy old Impala too.........kidding of course:p that thing looks sweet but you'll have a blast in the rat, and after a show you can cruise on home, slide her into the driveway broad side, cut the key and hit the patio with a cool one while your friends are home counting rock chips and wiping off road grime.[ddd:D

Hey rainman, we've probably been in the same places a few times! I showed my Impala at just about every local show around here and Louisville for the last 3 years. As far as the history of my 31, from what I got outta the guy it was started by a guy in Evansville, IN. Then went to a guy in Dunmor, KY and thats where he got it and he lives in Frankfort, KY. He said he showed it locally there, but not much. Think it was in a goodguys show or something big like that in Bowling Green, Ky but it'll be all new to local shows here. You'll have to let me know where youre gonna be for some shows and I can look you up. Thanks for the compliment.
