rat or not to rat

Man I'm sorry I missed this thread, it's amazing how spun up people will get over this stuff! I've mostly driven mopars that looked like "beaters" over the years... partly because it was all I could afford and they were cheap back then... But mainly because I love 'em that way. I still find one every so often... But I can certainly appreciate other cars that people insist on calling "fads".... Hey, wasn't "Hot Rodding" considered a "fad" at one point? I agree, build what the heck you want!
