Not a roadster but I think it's pretty cool - not that I would fit in it
Of course now if someone on here had built one and it looked better......

Yeah Blitz, go ahead & lick it up :lol: :lol:

Have to agree, liking it more and more. Would look better with whitewall tyres on for the hard core vintage rat rod look imho.

There is no such thing - ratrods are a modern phenomenon (Late 90's onwards). Caricatures of what someone thought hotrods would have been "back in the day". Some kind of "old skool" (if they had attended they'd know there is no "k" in school :shock: - grandpa could have told them that too if they'd cared to listen to advice) take that became a fad and quickly degenerated into attempts to be more outrageous than the next guy. Throw all kinds of sh1t on there that doesn't fit or work together just for shock value......

The car in the pic while sharing some elements as in radical chop and ride height that make it seemingly undriveable, is at least a considered design aesthetically. Bare metal is for show value only - when he has sanded enough rusty fingerprints off from everyone having the incredible urge to touch it (why is that?? :twisted: ), it'll get paint.....

For the record, true hotrods would never have been seen unpainted, and when they appeared in primer it was only because the owner was still busy modifying (or was still saving up for paint). In the meantime the car was his only means of transport and had to be on the road again come Monday morning......

Rant over - here endeth the lesson :evil: :evil: :evil: :wink:



For the record I like Vader's pic more!!!

What makes you think she's got 4 tits? Think outside the box, man, she's an alien, a very nice alien, but why would she have to be simmetrical. Maybe she's only got 3, or better yet, 5!
