HISTORY:
"Originally, rat rods were a counter-reaction to the high-priced
"customs" and typical hot rods, many of which were seldom driven
and served only a decorative purpose. The rat rod's inception
signified a throwback to the hot rods of the earlier days of
hot-rod culture�built according to the owner's abilities and with
the intention of being driven. Rat rods are meant to loosely
imitate, in both form and function, the "traditional" hot rods of
the era. Biker, greaser, rockabilly, psychobilly, and punk
sub-cultures are often cited as influences that shaped rat rodding.
The typical rat rod is a late-1920s through to late-1950s coupe or
roadster, but sometimes a truck or sedan. Many early (pre-World War
II) vehicles were not built with fenders, hoods, running boards,
and bumpers. The bodies are frequently channeled over the frame and
sectioned, or the roofs are chopped, for a lower profile. Later-era
post-war vehicles were rarely constructed without fenders and were
often customized in the fashion of kustoms, leadsleds, and
lowriders; Maltese crosses, skulls, and other accessories were
often added. The owner of the vehicle was typically responsible for
most, or all, of the work present in the vehicle. Recently, the
term "rat rod" has been used incorrectly to describe almost any
vehicle that appears unfinished or is built simply to be driven.
Chopped tops, shaved trim, grills, tail lights, and other
miscellaneous body parts continue to be swapped between makes and
models."-Wikipedia
