Advice Colum Post Number One.

Dear Rat Rod Rocker,

I want to build a rat rod, how should I go about doing it?

I wanna be cool like you.

Love,

Fidgit.


Dear Fidgit,

Did somebody say rat rod?

All rite!

Get some air bags dude. They are a must. Go with patina all the way, and red rims.

Make sure even if you can weld to weld like a dirtdobber. It gives it that authentic detailing everybody looks for.

You are going to need a theme for the car. For example my pic at the Round Up this year had a "Sea Hunt" theme. Mini diving helmets for air cleaners, pilot wheel, and so on. It ruled.

How about an ancient Egyptian theme? You could paint it flat gold, pyramid shaped air cleaners, and for that over the top coolness take all the wheels off and get you car club buddies to carry the car with you in it dressed as Isis.

We have an opening in the Road Raja's if you want to follow my advice.

Yours in rat rodding,

The Rat Rod Rocker
