RAT RODS

…a Franken-Dodge at its best. Rat Rods.

They are not really cars of trucks instead they are artistic creations. This one has a BMW engine. Tires, wheels, hubs, brakes, rear axle, engine and trannie are BMW too. There’s another truck on a Toyota frame. There’s real rust and fake rust, and an amazing amount of enthusiasm whatever for the creativity. Several of these creations are daily drivers. ‘

I share this Dodge because I once had a truck whose drivers side floorboard had rusted away. George cut out the shape he needed from an industrial cookie sheet. Here, there just isn’t a floor board at all.

The show manager, Pandora, traveled from state to state to find these cars. They truly give us a wonderful and entertaining show…a perfect Valentine’s day gift for any car guy or car girl.
