West Virginia...ratroddude

Hey Dallas, Seen that little mishap.... I too was a member...but don't let people bother me like that....nor should you. Your car falls in a few classes and we rat rodders love it. I can say i've bought some parts from folks all over the country for my 40 sedan and not one person cared if it was a rat or traditional.

this is a great site alot of folks from Ohio/West Virginia/Pa we should all chip in and post a forum of local swap meets and car shows w dates and times.

And Metro's have great short steering columns.....
