Are ratrods stupid or is it just their owners?

My Dart is more of a shitbox than anything else. Original idea was for a ratty muscle car, but the execution is a little questionable.

It's not particularly muscular, even with a 4.10 gear, my fox body Mustang would have run circles around it, never mind what my 70 Dart would have done to it with 3.23s. It is kinda ratty I guess, more like something that I would have driven as a winter beater 30 years ago. Maybe I am stupid. Lol
