PRE-WAR sound good to me!!! I just pulled that 1960 date out of thin air!]



OK so here is where the classification of RAT ROD stands so far....

VEHICLE: PRE-WAR Vehicles only (That's WORLD WAR 2 for you youngsters)

ENGINE: Naturaly Asperated or Mechanical Fuel injection-No TBI or TPI induction. Blowers, turbo's, nitrous, deisel (pookie approved), tunnel rams, Hilborn are all accepted.

TRANSMISSION: All types accepted

FRAME: Stock, Modified stock, hand built are all accepted.

SUSPENSION: All types allowed as long as it is SAFE and LEGAL in your state of registration.

BODY MODIFICATONS: Chops, Sections, Channels are all accepted. Changing one body style into another is also accepted as long as it somewhat represents a PRE-WAR era vehicle. SAFETY GLASS WINDSHIELD is highly encouraged and may be required by your registering state.

BODY FINISH: Natural Patina, primer, low luster paint accepted...high end gloss is not unless only used as an accent color.

INTERIOR: Basic with only minimal creature comforts. No digital gauges, flat screen tv's, 30" woofers...ect

WHEELS/TIRES: Whatever looks right on your car.


Feel free to modify the list!!! Then we can submit it to the rat rod police!

Oh good - rules. Build your box and sit in it. I like being one of the outsiders, so from now on, I'm gonna call my ride a VARMIT ROD. :D Us varmit rodders are the REAL counter-culture. :p

VARMIT RODDERS DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' RULES!!!!


:rolleyes:
 
Is that end of war or start of war? I missed end of war by three years. Heck, guess I'm moving over to the varmit rodders. However the Cold War continued until 1990, so that means I just can squeeze my 89 Ranger in too if it is end of war. :D
 
I saw theres no rules to what makes or doesnt make it. Everyone can call it whatever they want, if there was rules to "rat rodding" i wouldnt go by them anyway, i build it how i like and will call it whatever i like. Last i checked you cant get tossed in jail for calling your modern car a rat rod. this is just a waste of time talkin about this. but i do like that guys idea about the new section

I seriously think we digressed into just having a good time with it livingdeadguy. At least me and a few others were. :D Like it or not alot of pre-war era rat rod owners are purists in a sense too and they just want people to understand that. No It's not a law but it is a justifiable opinion. There's always going to be a controversy about it but I think there is a solution out there. People just have to be willing to talk about it and do something positive toward compromise. Heck - call pre-war cars and trucks "pre-war rat rods" and all post-war rat rods - "post-war rat rods" SIMPLE ENOUGH!!!! :D That's the problem with labels - THEY SUCK!! I hate labels!!!

Just gonna mind my own business from now on!

How I learned to mind my own business

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day,
and all the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.'

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a
little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see
what was going on.....

Some ******* poked me in the eye with a stick!

Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'... ;)

:eek::eek::eek:
