Why no "Outlaw" "Ratrod" short hood 911's? Pics Anyone?
I came across this really great looking 356 outlaw/ratrod/racer and got thinking I have never seen a similar 911. Anyone?

I guess I should have been more specific
I meant to say outlaw/rat rod short hoods. Anyone have a ratrod impact bumper car?

Me too!
Love that old vintage racer look. I think that car was "created" some of the paint and "patina" was added.

Back when I was heavily involved in the "early" VW scene (mostly pre-1965 iron) I was always so envious of the guys that would/could just drive the effing things, rust and all, without being consumed with "ground-up" restorations and transforming their rides into something the wine and cheese snobs would be proud of! When you've owned a few early buses, you learn to live with (and love) rust!

As a reformed "concourse" guy
I say AMEN! To dirt, dings and rust.

I've been thinking about taking a 'mid-year' car, lowered ,flares, ducktail, painted primer gray and doing a "Von Dutch" style Martini pinstripe/paint scheme. Just in the idea phase right now, but who knows.. maybe someday.

A Rat Rod would be way more modded and stuff. Doesn't have to be as funky as this VW, but the general idea is there. Rat Rods are very cool.

Here's another example, that's a bit too clean for my taste.

with a short hood car, you start with a varying degree of disadvantage. They all weigh more than the early cars, and that reduces the 'rod' in any ratrod.
