It is in rat rod style that the evo was done.
If I had time and less projects I would put together my 1931 chevy. make it a nicer looking rat rod in a velvet blue or purple paint

I think what is a better deffinition is a 1G DSM with a dirty engine bay but big turbo, interior stripped out, loud exhaust probably from an exhaust pipe out the side, clear coat faded off, some sort of wire and zipties holding it together...and this could go on...
Hey, isn't that old man Hill's car!?!?!?!?!? :lol:

Someone was a little confused. The idea behind a Rat Rod was to take a low buck piece of shit antique beater and make it into a cool cruiser by scraping parts together and trying to build a piece before you tried to buy it, just like they would do back before aftermarket parts were readily available. This process involves many hours of cutting/grinding/welding, tons of used (very used) parts and very little cash. Rat Rods are more about personal accomplishments between man and car, not cubic dollars spent.
A new car covered in flat black paint doesn't make it a Rat Rod.
Fast Eddie smoked a big fat dick on this one.

Gay. This fad will be over as quick as the cheap bodykits. Oh, scratch that, some people still like that stuff.
Rat Rod's have been around longer than all of us on this site have been alive. Not going anywhere either.
Sad they did this to an evo, but whatever. People have to get attention some how I guess.

I don't know about this one. First pic looked cool, but then the after shots made me kinda want to puke. I have seen well executed rat-rods, but I dunno about this. I agree with the idea that maybe some people look at these imports as our generation's "hot rods"

Every thing looks nice besides for that shifter. I hate to see how they shift into reverse. Unless they dropped the 5spd in there. But still that high up wow.
