Most Rat Rods here are build from scratch using part that we have sitting in the shed.

The loose rules are no paint no money but must be road legal.

There are very few " Historic cars" unless you count things like early Bugattis Desenberg etc, most of the cars that Rodders use are mass produced Fords and Chevs with the VAST majority now being either GRP copies or in the case of Brookville and other reproduction steel components.

As a rodder I like the bumper sticker.

"Saved from a restorer"

However I do have a few untouched cars, here are a couple.

The one under restoration has this week been painted in its original silver livery but I have removed the Fuelie motor put it in the corner of the shed and aml installing a mighty mouse 700 hp small block.

This car is a TOTAL nut and bolt NOS rebuild that has taken nearly four years to get to this stage, I have even put the stencils and chalk marks on the chassis.

The others are one owner low mileage unrestored cars.
