Thanks for having me. I have fallen in love with the rat rod culture. I used to be a race car guy for 25 years. Got out of it because it cost to much. I have a Harley of course and my fiance and I loved to ride. She had her own license and we put on almost 10,000 miles last year. Well she blew out her knee last October and didnt think she would be able to drive the bike anymore. So she started looking for rat rods. I dont have the equipment anymore to build one from scratch so we went and bought one. " yes I bought it" I have been changing it to be mine. New interior working on changing motor and some other things. The bones of the Rat are solid so I will never change that. I am honest up front about who built it because he deserves all the credit. Anytime we have won an award with it we take pictures and send it to him because it will always be his baby as much as it is mine !!!
With that all being said. I love going to show and shines and parking my turd in between two high dollar cars and taking home some hardware !!!
Also Rat rod people seem to be more down to earth and friendly than the people who own shiny cars !!!!

After lookin at your jeep again, maybe more jealous / green with envy of the background.....Always heard there is lots of "rats" where there is grain.....lol
