A lot of raodsters have exposed engines, but are not "rat rods". A rat rod is a car that looks ratty and unfinished, and may even have a hood on it.

thanks for clearifying that, i never really knew why people called them rat rods lol it makes sense now. i always thaught they were the same as roadsters just some people didnt finish, i seen some at car shows and was like "what the hell is that doin here? thats ugly, i wouldnt bring my half complete car to a show" lol.

lol I also hate rat rods

Those cleaned up nicely! It's easy to forget about parts when you're putting these cars back together! I know I had to stop more than once to paint something when I got to the point of needing it and realised I hadn't even cleaned it up yet!
