First an apologia: This blog has been pretty haphazard of late. Reason is simple: I have been taking days off to take advantage of the glorious weather with my 5-year-old. Next week I will be back on schedule.
Meanwhile, does anyone out there have a rat rod they would like profiled in the projoCars section?
What's a rat rod? Wikipedia describes a rat rod as "a style of Hot Rod or Custom car that imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. It is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "Traditional" Hot Rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a Hot Rod from the same era.
Most Rat Rods appear "unfinished" (whether they actually are or are not), with just the bare essentials to be driven. More recently however, a trend has arisen of making the vehicle appear "unsafe" or "scary", whether the vehicle actually is or not."
So if you have one of these vehicles and want us to profile it, call me at 401-277-7403 or email me at pelsworth@projo.com. Look forward to hearing from you.
