that;s how - run'em hard. lol

I thought hood ride was finding old VW's, and doing up the motor, dumping the car, and putting nice wheels on it, but not mess with the body/interior?

Since when did that entail ripping of the bumper covers, and making a rusted out hood, when no other part on the car is even remotely rusty?

I don't get this 'trend'. No wonder it died.

Caoboy, it looks like you're gradually heading towards this direction with your car.

seeing euros like this make me want to get one as a beater car. as long as its low and slow, no one will say anything about the condition of the body. at least no one will want to try to steal it...

the wheels and stance are on point

i think its a very artistic and creative way of stylin a car.

not my choice of tuning, but i can see how much thought and time was spent into making "beat down" parts look aesthetically pleasing.

i can dig it.

This trend never died...go to any local or big hot rod car show and you can see tons of them. This trend is called rat rod and primarily started off with the Ford model A's. If done right it could look pretty cool and interesting.

the "hood" in hood rides doesn't mean you just rust the hood and call it a day.

that's my boy spastic dwarf here in nashville clean ride with damn good fitment.  BTW that is a trend in the euro rides known as Euro-trash

Luggage rack=Downforce

this ones all over the net.. im jus not feelin the hood tho, its too "tryin to be different/individual" imo.
just lookin at that hood hurts *thinks of fingernails on chalkboard* 

if you wherent into cars, if you saw that pull up behind you, YOU WOULD THINK its a POS. lol

...hmm.  reminds me of my car... except mine is banged up naturally.

Reminds me... I need to change my oil.  It's been over 12000 miles.  AH!!!

the first two pictures had me thinking it was a woodgrain finish on your hood. Then i scrolled down to realize it was rust. lol

:smiley-rofl: me too!

wheel choice and stance are sick. the rest of the car is gross.

+3 the woodgrain wouldve been much cooler

This isn't a ratrod, don't confuse people.  Ratrods are so much different than this..in fact I have no idea what to call this thing other than eclectic.  

This is what ratrods look like:

And a ratrod styled euro to keep it on topic:

What is shown here is something that was "taken" from the ratrod style as also shown here:

The closest to a modern ratrod style would be this W140 which we've all seen:

But that is custom paint...not parts removed, paint stripped, and soaked in salt water...which is what those Euros did.  they just adapted part of another style to their own.  Just clearing that up so there's no confusion.

not feel'n the rusted hood, but everything else is definately syk imho.

nvm

gotta respect the dedication of these guys getting real nice bodywork etc then purposely rusting the hood and removing bits haha

HRE's are sick!! sorry, dont really like the trend...

Damn, love the wheels on that S-class
