Over the top rat rod
 

I usually don't like to comment on cars that I find on the internet because people are entitled to their own opinion and design ideas. But I thought this one was over the top and interesting because it was so different. The main body is a 1930 Graham, but it could have just as easily have been a 1930 Model A sedan.

I have gone against the flow before but I think it could be a really a cool 1 of a kind car when the right person gets a hold of it. (" and that's all I got to say about that") Trivia, Where did that quote come from?

I am not a body man by any means but his welding skills don't look too bad to me. Look closely at the unfinished welds on the firewall and side of the hood. Whether electric or gas there doesn't appear to be any warping and it takes pretty fair talent to do that

This reminds me of one of my buddies from decades ago, he had a old truck, we called it...
"FRANKENSTEIN"

Re: Over the top rat rod
 

I agree. And if all the hard work is done, why didn't he finish it?

There's a reason he didn't finish it, and he only will trade for a ready to drive vehicle.
