    I was asked to explain what a rat rod is

    I think you'd better change your screen name, that doesn't sound like a "bonehead" comment at all! ;):D Seriously well put.

    200 mph Cadillac

    Man, I always swore after I got rid of my first S-10, "No more black cars." But there's NOTHING as sexy as a straight, freshly waxed black car for that first 30 seconds before all the dust is magnetically attracted to it...;):D Seriously, sharp ride, glad you're liking it.:cool: Regards, Shea:)

Measure the wheelbase and both front and rear track width (across the wheel mounting surfaces) to find out if the Ranger suspension will sit nicely under those fat fenders. PLEASE don't try to build a fenderless rod on top of...

    Bat Mobile sells $4.2 Mil

    Starting out as the Lincoln Futura concept (1960, I believe) and later converted for T.V. by "The King of Excess" like it or not, it's a VERY significant piece of custom car kulture or history. :) Don's right, that lifestyle is something most of us average joes can't comprehend...;) Regards...

You might be surprised what you find, or what...
