i take on the opinion that if YOU built the car the way YOU want it and YOU as the owner/operator/maintainer like the vehicle then good! Getting hung up on class labels has been then death of the hot rodding spirit. i have a 1950 plymouth “rat rod”. i enjoy it, if you dont, too bad. see you at the finish line.

@azyaninvasion no it is not.the original 32’s are very expensive.you can pay 100.000 $ for a restored one because they become so rare.or you decide to buy a reproduction kit made of steel or fiberglass.but anyways till it shines like his one does you will easily be at a price of 40.000 POUNDS.

Forty Grand ? I’m pretty sure It’s cheaper than that especially if you built it yourself .

@Raceboy65 I can assure you the first car they show as soon as the music changes (32 Model B with red wheels) is as close as you’re going to get to a modern rat rod. Was bought from a scrap dealer in the states, moved over here and everything on it was begged borrowed and stolen from various scrap places or old builds, and if he couldn’t find the part, he made it himself. Built by a man named Paul Hobby. Since this shoot it’s now running without the wings and with a heavy chop.

Hotrodding today is who can spend the most money, just like circle track racing. The backyard racer no longer can compete with the money mongers that pay someone else to build their car so they can win.
I quit racing 25 years ago because we could not compete with the money. Same with “Rat Rodding”. A car built with a ton of money tossed at it isn’t a rat rod. It’s a wannabe street rod.
I switched to Harley Davidson and see it’s that way now. Who can spend the most money.

I used to own the rusty car that is in this video, just for the record, it is you yanks that think you know it all, that car is a hot rod not a rat rod, a rat rod is a piece of crap that should not be on the road. Also the term rat rod was coigned over here, not over there, quite a time before you lot caught on to the idea.

i wouldn’t call a purpose build “rat rod” a real rat rod, its just the rat look, you can make any car have a rat look but a real rat is made from the scraps people dig up from a tip

Rats rods is not a trend, trends are for shithead losers that thinks that dressing in the most populare clothes, driving in the most populare cars and using the most populare words actuely make you someone, but thats wrong, rat rods is life, not a fucking trend, if you like rat rods you will never stop liking them, it doesnt matter how many or how few people that likes and drives them, one time a hot/rat rod fan, ALWAYS a hot/rat rod fan!!

@GIwillo I think what he means is that particular 33-34 coupe that ZZ top used it in their video was so cool that after the video it became famous…just like the Graffiti Coupe in American Graffiti is famous…
