Hey all I'm Matt.. I don't have a Rat Rod but I want one so bad! I am working on a '75 Cosworth Vega that has been in my family from new. 3,868 original miles my Grandfather was the original owner and was passed down to me after my Father passed in '04.

Welcome Matt, Love the Vega. I've looked at a couple but never put a deal together. As much as I love hot rods, I hope you keep that one original. Some cars just should never be chopped up.

Thanks for the responses.. I needed the extra push to keep it as original as possible! I have been on the fence for a long time about what to do with it. I guess its time to go out to the salvage yard and pick up a new project. Hope the wife won't mind much! Its great being here! thanks everyone!  8)
