That looks like Dustin's (KCW) old 'snow plow'..... He flashed it up not long after that shot with custom RANDAR's, a new pan (The old one went under Derricks (Hoodride) Zwitter) and nice shiney metalic blue paint..... I have a video of Dustin diggin' that car out of the snow, rolling back the roof and start screaming around the streets of GJ... And that was back when he used to drive it without windows!!!!..... Nuts!
FUCH your early!

Its sooooo much more than that..... To some its about preservation, to others, its about the story that the car can tell, to others its something else. But the one thing that everyone agrees on, is that the car should be as unmolested as possible, as straight and rust free as possible, be slammed as possible and preferably early.... That said, there are exceptions to all the 'rules' and thats what makes it cool. The single biggest problem with trying to describe what a 'rat' is, is the fact that its different for everyone....

Personally, my car (my avatar) is in my opinion of what a good 'rat' is..... It is the proverbial 'one little old lady owner, genuine barn find', its got OG paint and never been hit, life scars with light surface rust, but no holes, OG accessories, is very low, is narrowed, has up-graded suspension and brakes, HiPo engine and transaxle, and is fully rebuilt underneath.....

But thats just my opinion.....
FUCH your early!

See now... Do you see the problems here?.... While the DC is cool, its not, IMHO, a Hoody in the 'traditional' sense..... Its got big 'bling' rims.... Not that big rims are an issue really, but it needs to be narrowed and seriously slammed, and its painted matt black (paint like that is more hotrod than hoodride)..... The bug on the other hand, has some of the 'right' elements.... Its very low, runs stock paint (well it looks like its stock!) and runs OG trim.... If its narrowed too then its pretty much on the money.....
FUCH your early!
