There are fads that come and go in the hot rod world. In my opinion rat rods are one of those fads. As far as how well built they are I have seen a few that are well engineered but they are in the minority.

I have restored cars and I have built hot rods. I like them both. To me driving them is what counts. I have a good friend that built a rat rod of sorts a couple of years ago. He was very gung-ho about it until he took it on a few road trips. He has since built a sedan that is much more "highway friendly".
