Does a it have to be 'flat black' to be a Rat Rod?

Not too wild on the front bumper, I'm considering welding mine together as one piece and leaving the bumperettes off. And that distributer looks like its mashed into the firewall. I'm glad mine's on the front. But not a bad looking ride either. Not sure if I'd pay the "buy it now" price.

Jay, we made one piece bumpers for my coupe, even pieced in to delete the front license indention. Welded the bolts on the back to make a perfectly smooth bumper. They look great, but was a big pain, came back from the chromer twice with pin holes in the chrome over where we welded it. If you do this be sure to get a great weld and grind it smooth and inspect it for defects.
Anyway car is finished and goes to the upholstery shop next, only took two and a half years, I thought it would have been finished in one year. -
What's the point of the fake exhaust coming out the back? Doesn't make sense to me.1953 Hornet sedan Twin-H
Custom front springs, drop-blocks out back, Clifford 6-2 headers exiting out back shotgun style, Pertronix, and Flames!
1964 Chevy C-10 Longbed, 396/TH400 lowered just enough and \"easy to touch up\" Black paint.
2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Caved in quarter and fender. Bad paint. Non-True-Trac heap. But it's paid for. -
Has me curious too...hornet53 wrote:What's the point of the fake exhaust coming out the back? Doesn't make sense to me.
Also - "Dummy Spots"... Why? Guess it is a matter of taste, but don't see a reason to put them on unless they're functional/useable (and you would actually use them...). -
I like this, but would change a couple of things...
this car would look so good in all gold... good 50's custom color....
not wild about the caddy taillights...
bumpers, not too crazy about those either... weld the stock ones, no guards...
hudsons seem to be real hard to find the right "fit" for a custom grille. they just don't have the right opening, so it seems, kind of hard to explain, but often, they don't look right, when they are customized...
also, I would have deleted all of the side trim.
Other than that, it looks like a nice ride... -
