Wikipedia quote, "A rat rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, 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.The rat rod is the visualization of the idea of function over form. Rat rods are meant to be driven, not shown off. Sometimes the customization will include using spare parts, or parts from another car altogether."

Got the Pontiac 350 running

I took on this hot rod project as a parts car really with all unknown so I was bloody stoked to put a used Holley on this thing, a little timing and she’s ALIVE!

Opinion Request: Is this a RatRod?

I'm curious on input from others. Would you consider this to be a ratrod? It's an 85 corvette. Has a small block 350 powered 100% by Propane. Jeep/Willys front end. Is it really a ratrod though? More hotrod than rat would you say?
