LOL.......
Where did he find those rear tires?!!!
Everything is so exaggerated these days, you can tell the guys building cars were influenced by "Hot Wheels" in their youth!
Bitchen car Johnny! I love the way the butterflies have been incorporated into the eyes of the skull. And I always love to see a chopped roof like that, knowing how much work is involved to do so, I appreciate the final result, every car looks better chopped like that.
The idea behind the rat rod scene is to build it without spending much money, primer paint, parts from the wrecking yard, etc. Kind of like the way guys did it back in the '50s. I grew up with hot rods assembled by guys without much bread, so its a nostalgia thing for me. Except some rat rod guys have gone overboard in that direction too, some guys have made it a contest to see who can build the rustiest, junkiest car!
Rat rod meetings are fun because the owners dress the part too! Tight tee shirts with a pack of cigarettes stuffed in the rolled up sleeve, Frisco jeans with the pant legs rolled up, side burns, Elvis style hair. It's great to see old dudes and young dudes hanging out together, enjoying the same cars. Anything that brings people together is cool with me, especially when it closes the generation gap.
