Originally posted by milano_red View PostYou both are correct. Although i do think the paint has something to do with the image. But the term "rat rod" gets mis-used very often
Originally posted by BigRuss View PostGoogle Rat Roadster its technically a rat rod with a flashy paint job.. If a car had the "perfect" patina I still think its just a classic hotrod still rocking its battle wounds

No they were! I think hot rod and rat rod confuses people.
A*rat rod*is a style of*hot rod*or*custom car*that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 40s, 50s & early 60s. It is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "traditional" hot rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a hot rod from the same era.
The rat rod is the visualization of the idea of function over form. Rat rods are meant to be driven, not shown off. Sometimes the customization will include using spare parts, parts from another car altogether, or even non-car parts.
