On my
cross-country journey to bring home a silver 2006 Mustang GT back in August 2009 I happened upon a
slammed rat rod traveling down the highway in Tennessee. In fact, it was so wild I snapped a
photo for the blog.
Fast forward two years to just last weekend when I was checking out the "Carolina Classics at the Capitol" car show in downtown Raleigh. I happened upon a rat rod that I thought was the same car. Upon closer inspection, some of the details were a little different, but the tall red wheels sure looked the same.
I spoke with the owner (and showed him a pic on my iPhone) and confirmed in fact that his buddy owns the very car I saw in Tennessee. After needing to sell the wheels for a new rear end that required a different offset, they now are sitting under this cool '28 at the show. Small world...
This car drew a crowd at the show.
