cougar5.0, i thought yours was more of a hotrod? it was my understanding a rat rod is a very cheaply put together hotrod. cheap like, flat black primer looking paint, rustholes purposely left there, mix matching parts  between very different cars. hot rods are things people put a good bit of time or money into to look nice.

i could be wrong, but i though that was the difference.

There was an old episode of Pimp My Ride, Where they took a late 80's/early 90's Buick and painted it flat black with red and white pinstriping and painted rims.
Mad Mike called it the rat rod look, heh. :hick:

BTW,
Nice hot rod!!!

sorry man you cant play....  your car is FAR from a "rat rod"  yours is a beautifully done "hot rod".....

"rat rods" are covered in rust and no shinny parts, or paint usually.... except maybe some old crusty valve covers.... and cobbled together by most peoples standards...
 this is a nice rat rod....
