I think she nailed it. I'd like to think that the Rat Rod thing is a fad that is finally on it's way out and not soon enough.

This discussion was held at the NSRA Plus Nationals. (since they allow up to 1980's cars)

It was classic she had a "goddess" tattoo and a skull and crossbones on the rear shoulder

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but I prefer paint.

I don't really like Rat Rods, but I can see making one out of a rotten car body that was dug up or rusted out, and would be way too much work to restore properly. But some guys & gals are using real nice sheet metal for these, what a waste! Years ago we used to make what we called dune buggies, just a chopped in half VW welded to a frame with a motor in it, and drive through the woods. A friend of mine salvaged a D8 Caterpillar that was sunk in a canal, he turned it into a Swamp Monster for the Everglades, we used to deer hunt off of it. I really liked that animated chick, I wish my wife was more like her, except for the bald head!
