Ferrari Formula 1 car. I'd only drive when I could save up enough money for a tank of gas and new tires. so once every year I would be able to drive :lol: the rest of the time I'd walk or ride a bike.

Why not just get one of those Z-Tune models :drool:

The Mule.

Oohhhh...

Um. most people back in the 20s and 30s with the rat rods didnt necissarly want them to be flatblack. Its just that they needed to throw a paint on to stop it from rusting. Most wanted nice paintjobs but coulnt afford it at the time and got it later. Its just that flatblack was pinned on it as cool.
Pinstripes are the same thing. After it was black, they wanted to spice it up so they striped it.

Ahhh yes, the Mule!! I had eye-sex with it at Power Tour. Such a beautiful machine.

Right, but that is why that is 'the look' that is carried on today. Primer w/dull celar coats now. With flames and whitewalls :) And it was really 50s-60s (even late 40s, post WWII), not 20s-30s for the whole rodding thing.

Rodders really can do neat, innovative stuff, they have less preceived boundries. You can get so many cool little (and big) ideas from them. They even jumped on EFI well before muscle car guys, just the way the jumped ont he flathead Ford, and then dumped that for the SBC.

That rod needs to be chopped :D


I never new that they realy did that back then, I always thought the whole "rat" rod was started by a few guys that were sick of 10 grand paint jobs on hot rods..

I was watching either american hot rod or automaniac when they talked about it..

theirs a family of car guys by my work that have cars in their back yard their gonna restore, restored gmc verisons of the elcamino in the front, a blue firebird vert and a hot rod their workin on now.

any amount of money eh?

then i'd get a bentley continental GTC...........550 hp... AWD.......comfy...hot.

First post...

48th post... :-D hehe...

When our boys got back from WWII the price of new cars was very high, so they would buy older cars and modify them- the birth of hot rodding. Paint was a "nice to have" compared to a car that ran. The whole "Rat Rod" thing happening now is like a day 2 resto, you go with color schemes, parts, and such that are period correct. Some Rat Rod clubs won't even allow ANY nonwearable parts on their cars that was created after the car's build year.

I would like to get back my white 1967 Z/28!

Considering they only made 602 or something, if it was a real Z, I'd want it back real f-ing bad.

Was it a real z????
