You know if you're a Rat Rodder if:

Your favorite place for auto parts and accessories is the Army/Navy surplus store.

A family outing is to the Pick and Pull.

your a rat rodder if.......you check the 5 future projects in your yard for parts you can modify to work before you head to the hardware or parts store

Ya know its a rat rod if your wife refers to it as "the other woman"

 

[moronthethrottle]

...if when you drive by chicks they turn to each other and laugh, and you're not offended...

...if you use a battery disconnect switch as an anti theft device...

...if you don't know what an anti theft device is...

...if your family looks at your rod, shake their heads and say "what a shame"...

...if you believe "trading-up" is swapping a driveable vehicle for something 30 years older that is in pieces...

You might be a rat rodder if...

*You fear growing older because you know you won't be able to get in and out of your rod...

*You prefer "Mater" over "Ramone" from Disney's "Cars"

*You helped your kids name their hamsters "Bonehead" and "Tripper"!

If your car is a Rat Rod it don't need an anti theft device... it is one.

You may have been PASSED by a rat rod --

If you have to back off because a running board is flapping in the wind, and pieces are comming off and hitting your Vette.

(I was the guy backing off).
