I encourage anyone who may be thinking about building a rat rod to "Go For It"...if you are short of ability in some areas you will find a local club most helpful in obtaining information and or parts. Also the Rat Rod Magazine is invaluable. Tommy Ring, who does a column for the magazine is especially helpful as is his video. Don't be afraid, hell I'm 70 years old and having a blast in the rat rod world. The product I hope will be awesome.
