FIRST OFF LETS NOT START A FIGHT OR DEBATE HERE
CAN NOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH
OK SO PEOPLE HAVE MAAANY DEFINITIONS OF RAT RODS. BE IT IN A CAR, MOTORCYCLE, BIKE, OR AIR STREAM TRAILER, REFRIGERATORS EVEN, WHATEVER IT IS!
SOME PEOPLE SAY "IF ITS OLD AND ORIGINAL ITS A RAT." OR "IF ITS FALLING APART ON THE OUTSIDE BUT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP ITS A RAT"
ME PERSONALLY? I THINK THIS : IF ITSANYTHING VINTAGE, THAT RELIED ON GOOD OLD MECHANICAL BRUTE STRENGTH TO RUN (BIKES INCLUDED, I MEAN PEDDLE POWER TAKES A LOT) AND YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT TO THE POINT WHERE ITS ALMOST ONE OF YOUR KIDS. AND YOU MAY HAVE LEFT IT ALL ORIGINAL AND GOTTEN IT TO RUN SOUND. YOU MAY HAVE CHOPPED THE TOP ON THAT FORD BUT ITS ORIGINAL PAINT AND WELDS SHOWING. YOU MAY HAVE PULLED THAT SCWINN OUT OF THE LAKE AND RE GREASED THOSE BEARINGS. IN SHORT, A RAT TO ME IS SOMETHING YOU'VE TAKEN A PASION TO AND TAKEN YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AND HARD EARNED MONEY AND BUILT TO A POINT OF SEEMINGLY UNACHIEVABLE SATISFACTION ALL ON A BUDGET. AND BUDGET IS A KEYWORD TO ME WHEN IT COMES TO RATS. I COULD SHOVEL OUT THE $$$$ FOR A GRAVITY FEED GUN AND PAINT THESE THINGS IMACULATELY, BUT I OPT FOR 93 CENT RATTLE CANS AND THAT ONLY ADDS TO THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE RATS I LOVE.
BUT MAKE WHAT YOU WILL OF THE WORD RAT, JUST BE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.
