i think it came about some years ago due to the trend of hot rods being overbuilt, over budget, and over finished, ie, sema type cars, the average joe couldnt compete with that and most felt these cars kind of left the general idea of hot rodding, as originaly it meant to improve the performance, looks handeling of what you had to drive, back in the begining these cars were typicly fords and chevys from the 30's as right after wwll these cars were used up and worn down and could be had very cheap , add in the flathead v-8 and some performance pioneers in the sport and you had a missle on wheels for the time, gi's fresh out of high horsepower fighter planes wanted to move, and moms hudson wasn't going to get it done , now when you look at a rat rod and know where it all started, low and behold, the original concept of a hot rod is alive and well,
