Hello to all you fellow Rats. Glad to be part of the nation. I'm a custom car lover, cars and trucks of all kinds. I will walk right by yet another stock example of any vehicle to look over a custom job. Fascinated by rat rods too. The immense creativity that goes into them is astonishing. Pure art.
I'm 63, retired US Army, 30 years service, combat veteran OIF/OEF, father & grandfather, I live in Western Central Vermont on 11 acres situated between dairy farms. Very scenic. We keep two donkeys, three sheep, one dog, two cats, two ducks, and 14 chickens. lol.
My current effort is a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 that has been greatly modified. Not a pure 'Rat Rod' per say, so I hope I don't get thrown out of here. I have been wrenching and fabricating on it since 2014, about a year before retiring from the service, and part of it is painted, the front clip, and the rest is about to be painted in a week or so when the weather clears up.
I'll start a build thread and post up the story. Thanks for having me here! Ghost.
