Another Hot Rod
My friend down the street seems to be able to turn out these Hot/Rat rods three or four a year. He has a lot of fun, I'm sure.

I don't know where he comes up with this stuff, makes most of it I guess. Never saw a piece of junk he didn't like. Sees things differently than me.

went over for a chat.,
It is indeed a '38 Ford COE, sitting on a chevy camper chassis 350 gas with a FEW other parts thrown in. It's not quite finished he says with a grin.
It's one of a kind he says, my reply …. -"all your stuff is one of a kind", "Yeah, that's the way I like it." |

Very cool. I have to say, though, I always wonder how much cooler things like this would be if the builders actually finished them. You know, like they used to - paint, interior, that kind of thing.
This whole "rat rod" thing was, at first, a cool idea. The first, oh, couple thousand of them I saw seemed new and unique. Not so much anymore.

Question passing through my mind today after watching a parade of hot rods at goodwood today.
Why are they called "hot rods"? was it pushrod valvetrains made for higher RPM, and thus "hot rods"? |
