[BoyfriendsRatRod]

Hi,
So...this may sound silly but my boyfriend just got a Rat Rod and is rebuilding it. I am a firm believer that when you 'play together' you 'stay together' and he asked if I'd like to help work on it with him.

Now...here is where you all come in... I have NO knowledge of Rat Rods as of yet. I am hoping that I can learn some stuff here, maybe surprise him and even better come up with some cool 'surprise gifts' along they way to make it a fun an exciting adventure together.

That's my story... stickin' to it. (ha ha)

If anyone has any pointers, links, sites, suggestions...I'm all ears! I am sure I'll have tons of questions as I go. Thanks for all your help!!

Welcome to the site, you'll find lots of friendly people on here that are willing to help. Post pictures, and ask all the questions you like. Some answers might be serious, some might be funny, and sometimes you might get teased a bit, but we pretty much have a good time.

I highly recommend this site. Start reading build threads and questions others have asked, and you will learn this stuff quick.
