''SARCASM: just one of his many talents.''
l have noticed a lot of new people showing up and l think that's wonderful
that said, l got to thinkin' why all of a sudden the "new" interest in rats and rat style vehicles. l'm sure the economy has a lot to do with it.
so what other reasons to build or buy one?
my reasons;
1. l like the fact that it don't have to be pretty to be accepted here, unlike some sites. most people like'em at the shows or get thumb's up when driving. safety is always top most when l build a vechicle, building a "bomb" is just asking for trouble.
2. if l scratch the paint or in some cases, rust, when working on or driving it, big whoop, can't really hurt it.( unlike my shiny one)
3. l let kids and people sit in and they can touch mine with-out the --OH- IT"S GONNA GET DAMAGED--so it's more hands on and more fun for me.
4. using what l got on hand and/or trade for some things. brakes, fuel lines, suspension and tires are all new so no worries about falures.
5. creativy on these kinds of builds fascinate me. some one is always figuring out how to make something do what it was never designed for.
6. really no rules, build what ya want. no one going "oh you have the wrong WHATEVER PART to be on this site'' or ''you built the wrong era vechicle to be here''. ;;no snobs here[P[cl[dr
