Re: fenderless 61 ??

are you talking just running without a fender until you find a good one?
I saw a guy in town run w/out front fenders for a few years, until he got some good ones.

Re: fenderless 61 ??

I dunno about running without front fenders..... but I really dig the way these trucks look lowered with no bed on them. I also really dig lowered with no hood.

I also think my truck looks good with the hood off.
But it cost me $600 plus dollars.

Pretty wicked. My brother in law has an extra cab and we're always talking about building a ratrod roadster with it.

Re: fenderless 61 ??

I guess those pics should answer your question, it would look like an abortion. If you want a fenderless car go buy a model A or something, don't try to make one of these trucks what they are not, and enough with this rat rod crap. Why would you intentionally build an unsafe, ugly, piece of s**t!

for real
rat rod was at one time the "cool" thing to have i guess not any more

i think the use of the term rat rod i way over used anyone with a crapy pos just says well it's a rat rod.

i do agree that the pics are all a little far out there but when did that become a bad thing i kinda allways that was the point to think out side the box. if i wanted the norm i would drive a honda.

Joe,
If you and your Brother-in-law do build one I would love to see it. with the skills you guys have it would definitly turn out slick. And after you put all your sweat and time in it, You can call it anything you want..

And nice picture Johnathan...

Re: fenderless 61 ??

I would like to apologize to rain_man, I didn't mean to turn your thread into a little cry baby ***** fest. I had voiced my opinion, which apparently fell on deaf ears, and some people chose to turn it into a personal attack. It always amazes me how some people can put their big boy britches on when they're hiding behind a keyboard and monitor, and talk all the smack they want about people they don't know. Any further replies will go on unresponded by me. So please lets return to our regularly scheduled RR talk.

Re: fenderless 61 ??

The point I was trying to make is that it is a term that gets way overused, and misused. There's a local guy here that has a RR '97 Altima, because he rattle canned it black, painted the wheels red, and sprayed on some whitewalls. Rat Rods NEVER were the "cool" thing, it was just a buzz word used mostly by the uninformed. By definition a Rat Rod is something that is intentionally build as a piece of crap, see examples at the top of the page. An unfinished car, primered car, traditional rod, or anything with whitewalls is not a RR. It's all symantics, but words mean things.

Rat Rod crap, Hmmm at least one of those has disc brakes, Rat rods were never cool, I'll give you that but MAYBE the were built to be uncool, out of the normal range of hot rodding, built to piss off the jerk offs who like the fat tire shinny paint, i bought it show car pro-streeters. DO I have a Rat rod, hell yes I do a 1962 Chevy II Yup it primer black but i have addressed the poor front end design added disc brakes, seat belts ect, I doubt I will ever "finish the car" I'd rather drive it. I get off on the fact that it pisses off jerk wads like you that think all we can build is a POS. Those trucks in the pics may have been very well built or be total POS's I cannot tell from those pics but I like the fact that someone pulled their head out of their cracks and used it to make something original. Like it or not they built something, better than those who bought it that way, or had to pay to have it built.

Re: fenderless 61 ??

Rat Rods are like Rap music, They're not going anywhere. So like it or not, get used to it. And from what I have read and seen, RR's started as cars/trucks built with several different car/truck parts, to reflect ones personality and to stick it to traditional hot rodders.
