X 100, that is a true hotrod, I don't think it falls into the abortions/bastards category.

It falls in here because it is a "homemade bastard". Too many people think everything in this thread needs to be ugly and fucked up. There are a lot of nice cars in this thread.

This thing should be winning every show it enters! Would lovd to see how it sounds and/or moves. IMHO, having running boards would have not hurt its looks. Extremely well done!

I wonder what kind of heat/noise that thing generates in the operator compartment. Obviously it's not a driver so maybe that is not an issue  |

Also spotted this one at the Nationals. I guess it qualifies as a ratrod  . (I've seen photos of this car somewhere else, maybe here?):

Not to be too big of a dick, but the hoses aren't painted.
