Chip Foose did one a while back for John Force on 'Overhaulin' like that one... turned out good. Personally, I like the Rat-Bus at the bottom!! The gate on back can be purchased at Home Depot too.

That is the ugliest rat rod I have ever seen! lol
I'm not all that crazy about rat rods anyway.

That's the cool thing about people having different taste. You end up with all kinds of crazy stuff people build.

My new name for them is 'RAD RODS' as they are a completely radical direction from anything traditional, pushing the boundaries of conformity. Not a single one is the same as another, like 'billet rods' tend to do.

I've seen a few that were pretty cool. I'm just not into the thrown together junk look. Bad thing is it would be a perfect thing for me to build. Put my best effort into it and people would think I built it on purpose to look junky. lol
That much bare metal and rust would give me a panic attack! I know they get clear coated and are suppose to look that way, but...

Yeah, I hear you Wabb... a lowered 1975 Granada (w/a 6 cylinder too) in primer Black with pained Red/Black wheels should not count as a "Rat Rod"... some have taken the Rat Rod movement WAYYYY TOO FAR. However a Model A slammed with a little rust is awesome to me.

Granted there are many that are literally thrown together 'junk', there are many more that are rolling works of metal art, and even MORE that blend it all together and they come out real nice. It all depends on one's taste, ya know !

'Radically pushing the boundaries of conformity'

I know this sounds crazy, but I actually like looking at stuff I don't like.
It's cool to see something I wouldn't build or I don't like, but know that somebody else thinks it's cool. If everything was designed or built by what I like, it would get boring pretty fast.

That makes sense to you?

Funny you say that because I LOVE A BIG 70'S OR EARLY 80'S, 4 DOOR LINCOLN OR CADY. Seriously, one day I'm gonna run across one in good shape and buy it. If you think I want pull my race truck with it you don't know me very well! LOL.
When I was a kid that's what people pulled campers with. A truck was for hauling fire wood or hunting out of.

What about a 1979-ish Mark 5 Lincoln done as a GASSER!!!! Tow w/ that... I think that would be cool. Definitely different....

Don't know if you guys saw the show but Chip Foose actually stole John Forces' old short school bus that he had bought from the town where he grew up in yrs. ago. Foose comletely restored it and Force didn't even realize it was missing from his shop's back yard. When they brought Force to see the restoration he actually cried when he saw it. I kow it's irrelevent because both of the guys have more money that GOD, but it was a neat restoration.

Zip.
