...& as you know Norm...I LOVE flat paint!
The orange truck has a V8 installed & it had a flat paint job...but it would never ever make it as a "Ratrod".
You'd need to cut the roof off...lower it...weld the front clip off a Firebird frame....welded downhand with a coat-hangar as a welding rod.
As I said...it's a term that's been adopted by folks that don't know what they're doing.
I'm sure there's an exception to the rule but I call those Hotrods.
