Hopefully you will understand what a rat rod is. stripped down. oud. no air. no heater. only glass is the windshield. Take the top off. and experience the most fun you can have with your clothes on. It will attract everyones attention. be ready to answer a lot of questions. A rat rod is rough around the edges. This one is unusual. with a flame paint job. and chrome wheels. passing by at 20 feet away. it looks ominous. The exhaust is loud. but extra sound discs can be attached to quiet it down. The body is probably not Ford. but is a rather common thing to get a title. and customize the car.
