Ahhhh, July...
At first I thought you spelled it wrong. Up here we are having a 'touque' fest!
So what the heck is torquefest? Is it open to anyone or do you need a brute 455 with monster torque and HP to show up?

yep! i find the creativity aspect of the rat rod movement interesting... i love to see old iron whether its cars, trucks, tractors or whatever... i see it as an opportunity to keep the pieces and parts of even older vehicles from rotting away completely or being scrapped, even though they are not in a correctly restored vehicle.

Theyre great as long as theyre not a bunch of welded together junk! The t in the pics has a well fabbed chassis and a era correct blown 354 hemi with a vintage 6 duece set up !! sounds nasty.

that T is sweet! i've got my eye on a complete '31 model A chassis... i have a '49 or '50 303 olds that i need to finish tearing down that would be right at home in it. then again i've got a good 350 olds and a good 302 block that i need to do something with. i think with an original chassis, even tho reinforced the mild 302 would be the (safe) way to go... i can't get over how tiny that block is! it's about like carrying a sack of dog food!
