Most people don't/won't understand it. Its about taking a car thats minutes away from being a pile of scrap and turning it around into something that is functionally worth while. Building the motor up to be in perfect functioning order. Its the ultimate and original Function>Form. Most probably wouldn't expect that teal 5 lug EH to have a built B underneath the hood, but it does. I'll agree that most of the newer cars with clean paint jobs and a rusted hood are kinda dumb, but its still kinda cool to put a new twist on the Rat Rod/Hoodride style.

if you want to say it like that yeah but im a fan of making a car fast before making it look good i like both function and form but if it came down to going fast and having a beat to hell body or haveing a show car that ran 16's id for sure have the fast car

the whole fact that his car looked like that and would walk 85% of this site is awsome to me

Nothing like pulling up next to a car a dragging bumper and getting dusted..metaphorically speaking.

Anybody remember this Miata with the rusty trunk? Was a magazine feature and a really clean build. I sorta liked the trunk, really added character.
