I never found a thread of this and I love the style, but haven't really seen any of our cars done like this. So let's see them!

 

not many have been done yet,... i'm hoping going to mess around with my spare hood (rusting..) this week...

my bud don has one going though... more 'hot rod' than rat of couse.. but still..

i remember seeing this "hood rides" thread a hwile back.

 

does anyone have pictures of that flat black crx with stretched tires, no fender, and no hatch? there was a rolling shot in the hoodride thread but i was wondering if anyone else had more pics of it in that state

 

too lazy to post pic. Here's a link

In for more pics

 

That green civic is pretty cool. Thats kinda like what I'm thinking for my ef. I want to do the rusty hood thing too and see what it looks like.

 

Here's some examples of some VWs done this style

errytime i see those pics i getta boner.

 

I love those pics also

but what i dont understand is the whole ... letting the body rust to add character thing

yes it does look tasteful, but are they planning on letting the car rust as it wants to, or do they "control" it in some way?

 

check mine

 

The llast vw posted was originally like that. The guy had a thread on VW vortex and he abuses the **** out of the car. Many of the rusted cars seem to be surface rust from removed paint. I dont understand turning a new car into a rat rod, but beaters and already rusted cars like the VW are sick.

 

I love how on the slammed beetles some of them just take the shocks out completely

 

anyone have pictures of that one rat rod rusted vw cruising on the freeway with no hood, with a painted, tucked engine bay? driver was wearing a bandana over his face..

 

it is posted above. I think you are talking about the blue one with the orange bay.

 

careful you might poke a hole in your rust spots

 

ahh.. is that the same car?

 

moar!!!

 

yea. I'm pretty sure it is.

 

Wish I had new, less-whored-out pics but it's cold and the car is jacked up for the winter so these will have to do until next spring.







And yes there was a lot of natural rust before I destroyed the paint.

 

interesting.

you guys serious!!! the last coupe just looks f'ed up.

 

Very cool, i'm down for something different. The coupe would look more rat rod with red steelies and white walls, or black with a polished lip.

 

you know they make paint that looks like rust. My dad use to have crazy old ford rat rod. I miss that car
