Foose and the boys finally built a real hot rod last night. Took them 8 days but they did a fantastic job on a 29 Model A Tub. Took a POS rat rod and turned it into a classy period correct early 60's style rod. Now if the rest of us could only do that in 8 days.......
I just caught the last 5 minuets or so last night, it looked like a very nice rod. I would have liked to see the build up. I couldn't tell if the owner liked it or not.
It wasnt a POS rat rod, it was just a primer model A tub with a toyota engine. They did a fine job on it, kept the wheels that were on it which was cool. Foose always builds real hot rods...
Mine has always been:
1.) Primered
2.) As long as it goes down the road
3.) Indian blanket seat
4.) SOME OEM suspension/frame (Doesn't have to match)
5.) Non-typical engine (Can't get any further with that one !! LOL)
6.) Has to run, or act like its on its last legs
Dan,
Tell the wife its for me, and we can get it all on EBAY. AMOF, tell her we can get a Sonny Leonard Motor on Ebay for $35K. I'm sure Sonny will post it, if we ask......
I was referring to the POS more than to the rat rod. Sure call it rat rod if you will, but it wasnt a POS. They've started with much worse. To me it was an old hot rod that just got a new lease on life

I would settle for 8 years. I'v had my '48 for nearly 16 years and just last year stripped it and getting ready (I hope) to start the build. I would love to have it road worthy by the end of this year, then I could at least drive it and enjoy it as I finish her up.
My wife said I could use the credit card for a one way trip to hell. I think that is in New Mexico. Can we build there? She was also muttering something about it being a really Hot Hot Rod. Dan
Actually Hell is in Michigan, my wife has taken me there.... and back :spank:
