To me the hotrod mentality has meant doing more with craft and what you have around than with cubic dollars. Its a journey, not a destination.
Not to say cubic dollars cant build cool cars, because its what i do for a living turning cubic dollars into cool cars...
Its also unfortunate that so many "rat rods" are basically formulaic poorly-build dangerous junk....

I think that "rat rod" stuff is a way for people to validate their junk. Kind of like some modern art....pass it off as legitimate and you might build a following. And it doesn't always take a lot of money to build some neat stuff....just some ingenuity (intelligence) and craftsmanship (discipline).
