I just sent a PM to a guy on the HAMB, and suggested he come check out this forum. Poor guy made the mistake of saying the R word on there. Of course, the responses were what you would expect on the HAMB, all negative.
What he was asking is that he is a teacher, and wants to help his students built a rat rod. He felt the economics of a regular rod would keep many of them from being able to enjoy hot rodding, but thought a rat might be more affordable because of the "make it yourself" philosophy. He sounded like a nice, intelligent guy, and just wanted some help.
I felt bad for him, as he got the usual HAMB pile on, and I hope he comes over here. I told him the guys and gals on here were cool and would give him constructive help, and weren't afraid to say rat rod.
That forum is amazing sometimes.
