New kind of "Rat Rod" ?
Spotted this at the Syracuse Nationals today. Was generating quite the buzz. Has a little "goth" sprinkled in with some good old hot rodding. Like to know what cab they used, new one on me.
Whatever, it was different and I liked it

new kind of rat rod
That is one sweet ride! It's kind of got the "rat rod meets upscale street rod" thing goin' on. I would like to know what the cab came from too, it looks like a newer car windshield that is flush mounted. Anybody else know some info on this car?

It's got too much chrome and paint to be a rat rod. It looks good, but there is something about that windshield that just doesn't work for me.

Hard to tell but at least it appears to have front brakes.

I like it too. Looks like a lot of fun to have, definitely an eye catcher.

Nice find Arrowhead. Some new directions wrapped in traditional styling. I like the innovation.

I looks to have a basic T bucket frame, but wider. Similar tube type front axle and hairpins as on my T, but the frame and mounting points on the front axle are wider.
The windshield wiper, enclosed cab and heater get kudos from me, those are things I long for.

The guess on the Cavalier windshield could be right. I think a more rounded and slightly larger radiator would have worked too. Still a well done rod.

Nothing "rat" about that one, defintely a nice mix of contemporary and traditional though. I'm with Fred, it could stand a "little" more traditional windshield treatment and lose the billboard and graphics on the bed. And it has one very major fault....... There's no way I could ever squeeze my 6'2" 215 Lbs. in it........
 But I still LIKE it!!!!!

I'm thinking removable hard top. If it's not, it should be.
