New girl....

Hi all, my name is McKenzie and I'm from Arkansas. I was looking for some articles on building a rat rod when I stumbled across the site via google. I'm LOVING it so far! I've found loads of good info in the archives.

I'm currently an import owner (a few Mazdas...a MX-3, MX-6 and a handful of RX-7s) but don't hold it against me! As I said, I'm looking to build a rat rod pu over the next few years so we'll see how it goes

 

well the people here might not hold it against you for having imports, everyone makes mistakes in life, but if you wanna stick around and get help from some of the purist types on here try not to refer to your future project as a rat rod. that description is almost as bad as racial slurs. good luck and watch what you say, even if its yours, not many on here think the same.

 

Welcome from -7 degrees here today. Everything you need to know is on
this site Including the terminology. (Ratrod) Pleas explain your avatar for us.

 

Oh, sorry for the mistake. So it's one word not two? Or is the mistake in calling it a ratrod in general?
My avatar is my unfinished tattoo...still needs color and some final details.

Thanks for the welcome

 

You may wanna go to these places instead....

Love the tatts! Welcome from colorado!and please, we say a lot of things on here, but we don't use the "r" word! Lol!

 

Welcome to the H.A.M.B., look, mingle, and gather all kinds of info.....but just don't say Rat Rod or anything that starts with Rat. Just say Hot Rod, and everything will be ok.......and I LOVE the Tattoo work your getting.....

 

Ok, I'm piecing together a hot rod....am I forgiven? LOL

 

Hey Kenzie,
Welcome, these guys are spending way to much time in the garage. This old guy says a 10 can call it anything she wants!!!

 

You are forgiven......now check out the pic of my Rat Rod on my profile page...

 

Welcome, to the site from another noob to this forum

PS leave that ink black n gray, color makes em look like comic strips

 

Welcome,Welcome it never hurts to have a pretty face in these forums.You definitekly have to watch yourself around here though they will chew you up and spit you out for somethings from one newbie to another just a word of advice make sure you search the forums before you post something you think could have possibly been asked before if not they tend to get a little snappy.

 

You're forgiven. I wouldn't put to much stock in it. If you build it, you can call it what you want!

 

welcome McKenzie. The wifie and me were throwing that name around if we have another girl. Nice tats too.

 

Yea welcome to the HAMB, bunch of good guys and gals here , always liked the state of ARK.,Hank

 

Only if we get a better pic of that tat.



And Welcome.

 

Nice ink! And welcome.

 

welcome darling............

 

Welcomefrom The great white north!Don't worry about the import thing,sounds like you've seen the light!As far as what you call your car[rat rod,hot rod ect]this does not matter as long as it what you want! p.s. your pic is distracting the hell out of every body!

 

Imports are awesome. I've got an Evo and I've had 2 turboed 240sx's. I've also owned a Grand National and a '68 Mustang. But I've also got a model A with a 400" Pontiac in it. They are ALL awesome, just for different reasons. Why not have your cake and eat it to?!

 

I can't think straight......tell us about your ratrod import.
J/k, hopefully you did some searches and found some good info for your next project.

 

There 'ya go!

Welcome from AZ

 

Welcome to the network, and HOTROD trucks rule! Good luck on the future project!

 

Welcome from Oklahoma, have you got a specific project in mind?20's 30's 40's 50's? Good luck in your search. You have found the right place to educate yourself, don't worry about the terminology you will get respect if you are not afraid to get dirty and plan on driving your HOT ROD. Stick around and have fun. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Oh and I agree your avatar is making everyone nervous, but we are just intimidated by a pretty girl that can wrench also.

 

Welcome from NJ...
Nothing against rice...It's what's for dinner I came from the mini-truck scene looking for the same thing you are but since I have come here, I read a lot, posted some here and there and have redefined my future build goal into a traditional hotrod. Lot's of good info on here for sure! Just heed the advise given and you'lle do fine. There are actually a few women on here.

One other thing... You have to post up pic's for us now... We need a face to put with the abs...
