A buddy of mine is getting this Saturday...  :icon_smile_big:

Cant wait to trade out that V6 for my V8 with the crossram high rise intake.  :2thumbs:

Some bad ass machines right there!!

the only problem I have with the whole Rat Rod scene is that some people are putting that name on any piece of crap out there. Im seeing cars for sale in Ebay that are just basically a roach w/o anything special done to them, just rusty, and calling them "Rat Rods"

Agreed, they need to be modified and very unique to be classified as a Rat Rod. The one I posted is only half way there. At least it chopped and channeled so we have a good start. We have some pretty cool ideas for that car already.

I can agree with people calling any rust bucket a rat rod. more angles. :nana:

My biggest question is what's up with the super low ones?  Do their suspensions lift when they drive?  Or is every bump the freaking apocalypse?

I've always wondered that  :scratchchin:

They are on air bag suspension to enable them to be dropped to the ground when parked.
