Re: Rat Rod 73-87's

The term "Rat Rod" is way over used. Just because a car/truck has primer paint and painted wheels doesn't make it a "Rat Rod". I get the term thrown at my truck all the time and I politely walk away.

Our trucks are too new to fit the Rat Rod definition, at least from my viewpoint. Seriously, if a mid 70's 80's pickup is a Rat Rod because it has red wheels, does that make a red wheeled Toyota Sentra a Rat Rod too?
