    This thread doesn't have a topic.
    You can say whatever the hell you want and it won't be offtopic. :)

    Why is the world home of us? Reasons. Why is science so interesting? Reasons. What is the meaning of life? Reasons.

    I just don't like the way they look. Plus I think those cars should be restored to their former glory, not turned into those things.

    only reason i would/want to build a rat rod is price. i cant afford to fully restore a car. So instead i would make a rat rod.

    Most pre 40's cars found today that haven't been stored in a garage are either too far gone or missing to many hard to find parts to be brought back to original condition, It's also a lot easier and almost always cheaper to build a custom then a matching #'s resto. I like rat rods that represent the hot rods built during the 30's and 40's, built very cheap for nothing but straight line speed.

    I'm just wondering, has anyone else seen someone's account deleted for bad behavior? There was just someone (the author of L) who had their account deleted (not banned) and their thread deleted.
    PS: I also saved the thread before it was deleted, just for the lols.

    Well, the only cars that actually become rats are the ones that are way past the point of restoration.
    Here's an example:

    When it was found:

    As a rat rod:

    so petrovsky, is it safe to make and run a rusted car as a rat rod? i know the frame should have minimal rust, but what about the body? just surface rust? or can there be holes?

    Surface rust doesnt actually impact structural integrity significantly, its its deep set rust then you have a very brittle material unsuitable for road use. Check local state laws for legality of it.

    I didn't and probably won't have just a single light turned on for the 100 year memorial. It's not something that concerns me really.
