Has anyone out there done a 914 rat rod, or have any photos of an example?
You know the "Steam Punk" look. |

Call me an old fart set in my ways, any way you display it it still crap. You are an old fart set in your ways. Not that there is anything wrong with that . I think the rat rod craze started when paint jobs went over 10k You could be right about the Paint thing Rich, but I think it's a little deeper than that. I think it is intended to focus attention on the mechanism of the vehicle and not the vehicle itself. Many of these "Rat" cars have things exposed that normally are hidden. Suspension pieces, engines, steering columns, ect. In another instance you will also see parts used from other make model cars, very often performing a different function then they were designed to do. Being in my early 50's I am more "old school" but it is interesting to look at trends as time goes by. |
