a bloke named luke is the owner,he works at route 66 just on crown street in darlinghurst sydney cbd.i am a little worried about that term ratrod though.i am going for a much similar look and would never call my car a rat rod.i think that term is for the norm that dont understand,i just got some whitewalls painted on my tyres and had to tell the guy i was going for the rat look so he would give me 2 inch walls.i wasn't that impressed,but ya gotta deal with it.
a rat rod is a very broad term these days,compared to what one was back in the day.maybe i have to deal with it.
anyway i have some pics i'll try to post

only thing is it's not and never will be a "rat rod" rat rod/hot rod emphasis on rod is a pre '48 model car,i would use the term ratty style and the owner prolly uses some other term

"beater" is probably the appropriate term for a post 48. |

but........ that usually applies to one that is pretty well bog standard looking from the outside and looks like it just came out of the paddock (Ratbox would definitely know the look - you know the type with moss etc!). That doesn't really apply to this one as it is blatantly obvious that this is not an original looking car. So it's anybody's guess as to what an appropriate term is for a car of this styling.  |

 Probably about a hundred different names people call that style of car. I call it a "boy racer". Anyway, I like it

Well, whatever you want to call it, it's better than mine, it's together and it runs. The owner can enjoy it like he obviously appears to be doing.
That in itself has got a lot going for it.

I agree Keith,I would give anything for my car to even look anything like this and be drivable.Does anyone know what size/pattern rims he is running?They look like 15's. |

Funny, I just read "the boulevard crawl" column in CKD, the guy was going on about people's obsession with classifications. I love the car and I bet he isn't afraid to drive the rims off it either.
