Ok see now you're contributing lol. I do know what they're supposed to be. I think the only thing you left out was traditionally rat rods were thrown together with the parts you had not what you could go buy. So if you needed a coolant overflow you didn't go to Auto Zone you went scrounging through your garage and found whatever glass container you could strap to the frame and run a hose into.
