Thread revival? Not many people doing rats anymore?

[Bernard Kron]

I think as a fad things have calmed down a bit in Rodentville since this thread first was started in 2011. On the other hand the Rat Rod style has definitely had a big influence on all things Rod and Kustom, especially in the Traditional sphere. Here at MCM several of the true masters of the form have either become less active or have moved on to other things.

For myself, I’m only just now taking on the challenges of Rust ‘n’ Crust and general Ratness. Over the past year I’ve done an increasingly worn looking series of projects, culminating with my current build, a desperate thrash to get a car done in time for the Rat Rod theme table at this year’s ,NNL Wesyt on March 12th. Here’s where I’m at with a couple of weeks to go:

In order to learn the Way Of Rust I recently did this Barn Find ’41 Plymouth Gasser:

Some good looking rods on here.

[Jantrix]

Also I think the rat rod genre has evolved some. The overdone rust and general shoddy workmanship trend that seemed to pop up everywhere a few years ago, seems to be going away. Patina and bare metal finishes have become more and more popular. I would say my last two are borderline rat rods.

[bob29579]

Great stuff everyone.   I love em all.

[Spex84]

Cool stuff everyone! The rat rod trend might have peaked, but it's still going strong.

Don't think I've shared this one here yet, finished it in 2010 or so.

Here are some finished pics of the Rat Rod I just completed for the Rat Rod theme table at this years NNL West next weekend:

Also, here's a suede '49 Ford that might be appropriate, done in the middle of last year:

And lastly, a Deuce 5-window highboy in red primer from this past December:

Mr. Valongo,..Good to see new stuff from you !

Good stuff too !

[ToyLvr]

Built a couple of years ago...my first attempt at a rat rod type vehicle. Was a lot harder to build than I expected, and has given me a whole new level of respect for you folks who build them on a regular basis.

[Sixties Sam]

Here's another one I did a few months ago. It was a chopped T coupe body hacked into a pickup.

 

[Rotorbolt73]

I built this rat rod for a theme build off in my model club....Built from the parts box.

 

[MemyselfandI]

 Here is my first build ever, I am new to the hobby lots of experimenting, all hand painted.

Cool, I dig the bomb gas tank, those exhaust pipes sure would be loud, nice weathering over all.

[modelfink]

Rat Rod Tuesday? Here's a little 29 ford pickup I built back in 2000. I'll probably post more pics in a new thread.
