any one out here ever build a rat rod, got a call from a good friend from vermont telling me he found what he thinks is a 32 chevy , sent me pics all the sheet metal is there and in real good shape, no chassis engine ,just sheet metal, looks like iam going to vermont monday to get it and bring her home, and the good part it was very very cheap so i just might build a rat this winter. offroaddiesel

Rat rods are cool, as you can go just about anywhere in the build with them..... I'm not big into them, I'd perfer a restomod on the old cars and trucks
