I love that truck with the car bed......so much in fact its my desktop wallpaper
Been thinking of redoing mine using 57 ford quarters!!
I have seen quite a few builds using 50s rear 1/4s and few have pulled it off as well as that. Makes me want to hack up a finned car to make a bed.
Flicking through the latest issue of Hot Rod, and I'm just about done when I come across a teaser pic from the next issue (lurking just inside the back cover) of a superb looking rat rod. I've been all over it with a magnifying glass and throwing everything I can see into searches without any luck. I'm just too impatient to wait a month - anybody have any idea who built it? It's so cool - the stance, the '57 Coronet rear quarter panels, the monster tires, the injection stacks - I love it [dr
Okay time for a rant. Tried to post this question on another rodding forum and it was deleted in no time flat with a PM that stated "we don't discuss rat rods - stay on topic". I always thought hot rodding came about as a way of rebelling against the status quo, and now I come to find out that if a rod doesn't have a show winning paint job and a ton of billet it's not even worthy of "discussion" on a rodding forum. Really - you can't even talk about it? Now hot rodding has become the status quo? That sucks. Some of these guys need to look back at the cars that were built and raced when rodding first started and try to find the seamless bodywork and flawless paint they consider to be the standard that they now hold everyone to. I love big money, well engineered cars as much as anyone, but it doesn't sit well when others in the hobby get all high and mighty and start dictating to others about what's acceptable and what isn't. I read the mission statement for RRR when I first joined, and I couldn't agree with it more. This forum rocks. Okay, I feel better now
