The ultimate juxtaposition...?

Found this while surfing SoCal Car Culture this morning. Could it be a new trend...say hello to high tech rat rods!

Jebus, that's scary looken......I'd still go for a ride tho if offered

What is it??

It's criminal, that's what it is.
Unless it's a WIP then it'll be nice when it's finished.

Love the billet rims on the front with the old centres. You could be right about the trend though, it's something a little bit different and we all know how a lot of people want to be different the same??

I'd like to see em get THAT power to the ground with that rubber on the rear, be instant smoke as soon as ya foot came near the loud pedal.

I luv Rat Rods and all but that thing is F'kn stupid..............who ever built it must enjoy wasting time and good parts!!!

That engine should be sitting in something a lot nicer then that but each to their own I suppose.

Cheers Tony

Only in America!

I'm hoping it's been rescued and the shiny parts show the start of it's transformation from rat to show winner.

Lol, sounds like old farts at the RSL in here! The same things were said when rats got popular.

No prizes for guessing I love it! It's kind of steampunk-ish.

Nope - just don't see how it's relevant to anything...least of all this discussion.

The subject vehicle is doing what the creator wanted........causing it to be notice and discussed, and therefore giving him/her some fame.
He/She couldn't be serious....could he/she???

I like it...

Cool conversion that push the envelope always create a stir with some people (eg. RB26 in a mustang.)

It might not be that drivable but it's different and getting attention.

I've just noticed which space it's parked in.

Thanks Zenrat for pointing that out now I'm trying not to piss my self laughing

Sorry guys... looks like a hellova $$$ poured into something that looks like
crap to me!...give me the good ol' school nostalgia lookin' rod any time.

Rat rods are just lazy. They show no skill in any way, shape or form. They are the automotive equivalent of a 90 yr old hooker wearing a school girls uniform.
