A Ratrod is a traditional streetrod that are built the old fashion way. "BY THE OWNER" these cars are built for function, going fast and being free of the yuppie B.S. Anyone can buy a HOTROD thats what banks are for. Keep it real, no paint,no chrome,no problems!

If you cant build it fix it you shouldnt own it!

If you have to take your rod to a mechanic your not a rodder....

RATROD:Fast, Functional, Hand made, and driven!

HOTROD: shiny, expensive, useless, bought, trailered everywhere!

My $2500 rat rod will leave your $100,000 rod where it belongs, in the field. So maybe someday a real rodder will find it and turn it into a real rod! Have a nice day!

See hotrod, yuppie, mechanic, real

A duragatory term used by goldchainers, or chainerswho dislike the unfinished look. Often confused with traditional hot rod, or real hot rods. Real hot rods are function over form, rat rods are form over function.

The rat rod trend has birthed a new type of rat rod in which you can take any car, be it a Civic, chevy S-10, 55 Belair, hell it could be the moon rover, but if its painted in flat black and has red wheels its a rat rod.

Peple whp paint thier cars in rat rod form are foten trendists who will move on to the next popular thing when it comes, leaving lots of nice iron for the real hotrodders like me.

Rat rodder has a flat black '89 s-10, while a real hot rodder like me would have, say a '50 Pontiac with chrome steelies wrapped in whitewals, and. and a goldenrod fade paint job.
