	Rat Rod - tribe.net
		Rat rod is a newly developed name for the original hot rod style of the early 1950s.
		The term rat rod is considered derogatory to many traditional hot rod builders, but new fans of hot rods who notice the difference from yesterdays shinny hot rods to today's primered, lower and more radically designed hot rods call these cars rat rods.
		A Rat Rod is generally considered to be a home built, low budget, one off custom that is still often driven and has many flaws and/or imperfections.

	Rat rod
		A typical rat rod is an early 1930s through 1950s coupe or roadster with the body set low on the frame, fenders removed, whitewall tires, big-little tire combos, exposed engine bay, home-made upholstery, and lots of power.
		Hardcore rods are more or less just people with a passion for custom cars that create their masterpieces over many year thus leading to the use of primer as in the creative process one sometimes can not afford to build, paint and trim the 'rod in one hit.
		At one time, the "rat rod" (or, even more so, the "rat bike") was owned/built by an outsider for whom the machine was a statement of individuality and disregard for cultural norms.

	Race car driver hits stride with rat rod : Community : Knoxville News Sentinel
		The rat rod is mounted on an air-ride suspension so it can be raised and lowered and Payne plans to "chop" the body - lowering the roof about 4 inches and taking an inch or two off the front to give it a more rakish look.
		Rat rods are an abrupt turn-around from gleaming chrome and mirror-quality paint finishes to the look of flat fl, primer gray, bare-metal and even rust.
		Rat rods are meant to be crude-looking cars, but the vehicle will have actual door latches before it's finished.

	GMP Crazy Ben's 1934 Rat Rod (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Whereas the hot rods of yesteryear were primarily bare bones roadsters and coupes hopped up in their owners’ backyards and garages using whatever parts were readily available along with a bit of ingenuity and a great deal of personal creativity, many of today’s hot rods are professionally assembled in state-of-the-art facilities.
		And unlike a majority of earlier hot rods that were commonly driven on a daily basis, a good number of today’s street rods spend most of their time parked on a trailer, traveling from show to show, longing to be unleashed on the open road.
		In view of the fact that the popularity of the rat rod lifestyle is increasing more and more, it makes sense that GMP would use their resources to target this genre.

	Hot rod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hot rods are part of American culture, although there is growing controversy within the automotive hobby over an increasing trend towards the irreversible acquisition and modification of surviving examples of historic - some even very rare - vehicles rather than the traditional hot rodding concept of the salvage and remanufacture of reusable junked parts.
		Hot rod builders such as Jesse James, who is also famous for his motorcycle modifications (choppers), have profited through their exposure on sensationalized TV shows.
		Since there is very little "vintage tin" the hot rods in Sweden are generally made with a home made chassis (usually a Ford model T or A replica), with a Jaguar (or Volvo 240) rear axle, a small block V8 and fibreglass tub, but some have been built using for instance a Volvo Duett chassis.
