Nice air cleaners??
how do you keep the big chunks out of the Delortos??

Exhaust is cool, but I'd think it would piss off the neighbors!

I don't know what the appeal is. But I love that car. Nothing about my car experiences over the last 30+ years should make me like that thing but for some reason I think they're the coolest cars. Chip Foose or Boyd couldn't  produce a Hot Rod that makes me smile half as much as these rat rods do. I dont get it

Check out the Harley Davidson chain drive. How do you think of that!

thats easy to answer, you've watched "The Road Warrior" one too many times!

Hey I love that movie some of the best and weirdest "rats" only I don't think they called them rats back then. Still love 'the Toe Cutters" weird ride!

That is just incredible awesome. It just takes my breath away. It’s automotive art in it’s highest form that could never be duplicated. I wish I had just a fraction of the talent & imagination it took to built it.  #@$
