Brett Barris’ RAT-U-LA

The RAT-U-LA is Brett Barris’ version of the infamous DRAG-U-LA, Grandpa Munster's ride from the the hit 60's TV serious "The Munsters".


The original DRAG-U-LA was unfortunately sold years ago to the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Atlanta. You can still see it hanging from the ceiling. Brett decided it was time to build a new one, but built for this generation. This generation of hot rodders are building and driving what they call Rat Rods. A Rat Rod is a nostalgic hot rod that resembles what kids were driving when hot rods were young. The jalopies were usually built on a budget incorporating used parts from many different makes and models, kind of like how Frankenstien was created. Today this type of rod has gained it¹s own style and following. Since Brett had to build this car on a budget, it fell under this classification and merging the design of the original DRAG-U-LA.... you get the RAT-U-LA...
