About me

A rat rod is a custom car with a deliberately worn-down, unfinished appearance, typically lacking paint, showing rust, and made from cheap or cast-off parts. Rat rods are often built from old American cars from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. They are typically hot-rodded with powerful engines, big wheels, and chopped tops.

The term "rat rod" is thought to have originated in the 1950s, as a derogatory term for hot rods that were in poor condition. However, the term has since been reclaimed by enthusiasts of this style of car.

Rat rods are often seen as a symbol of rebellion and DIY culture. They are typically built on a budget, and their creators are often not afraid to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques.

Rat rods are not for everyone, but they are a unique and interesting part of automotive culture. They are a testament to the power of creativity and the spirit of DIY.
