Re: Introduction
In my limited experience and knowledge I will try to clarify the issues as I know them.... FordBarn is predominantly restored Ford vehicles. There are many on here that have both restored and hotrodded, or mildly modified ( better brakes, 12 volt etc.) . The HAMB which is the bottom forum in the link if for any make hotrod.
That said, there is considerable backlash against vehicles classified as a ratrod. I gather it is like porn, no one can clearly define it, but they know one when they see it. In my definition, a ratrod looks like a car put together in a junkyard with spare parts. Not just the primer, but things like tractor grills and odd parts. I think yours flirts with the line between hotrod and rat rod, part the paint and part a lack of refinement (like the interior).
It has the makings of a nice rod. In addition to the flattie I would redo the dash, clean up the floor panels....
