Rat Rods

Rat Rods developed from the late forties and into the 50's. Most were made from junk yard parts. What ever you didn't need was pulled off to litin the car. Alot of the old Rat Rods were a mixture of many different car parts, what ever was available. Alot of the go fast stuff was developed from that era ,Iski , Edelbrok, Offenhauser. Nail head and flat head were the engines of choice and Caddy until the Hemi's came out. Back then it took little or nothing to build a low buget ride as many of the parts and cars were in someones pasture. Now people are spending thousands to get that old rusty look. Bodies are becomming harder to find and junk yards want a fortune for their parts. Its fun to see it come around again it reminds me of a simpler time.
