lol, Jesus Christ... nobody said it was a rat -- I don't know why you're all assuming that the builder was aiming for "rat rod." It's a hot rod, plain and simple. If he's like most hot rod builders I know, he'd be pretty pissed if you walked up to it at a show and called it a rat.
I swear, that fucking term has become so muddy and clouded these days. People see a fenderless, chopped car or truck with a few pinstripes on it and it automatically gets categorized as a rat.
To the OP -- Most of the cars you post are downright heinous, but you're getting a little better. lol
