So who's going to be the first to build a dragula replica?

Saw this in the news "Wal-Mart begins selling discount caskets"

It got me to thinking, is anyone here going to ever build a dragula replica, or has it been done and I missed a thread?

 

prolly this guy....

 

Over the years I've seen several Dragula take-offs at shows all over. Some better than others. There was one at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Illinois one year.

 

OG

 

been done. Kiwi here in Riverside did the interior for a slick lookin one and he's building his own last i'd heard

 

Saw a clone at the Pile Up a couple of years ago...no pic's to prove it.

 

if kiwi is building one, i would love to hear or see about it

 

Not exactly a clone, but this clown was at the 2nd Pileup

 

im in the process of mocking one up right now.

 

It was a bad idea the first time. Why do it again?

 

Great. Just what we need, Chinese caskets.........

 

I've seen a guy at the local cruises with a 5HP Briggs powered one...............looked like fiberglass.....sad.

 

Because I have an extra casket and a fetish for things with motors and finding things to put motors in front of.

 

Seen a couple around was never a fan really....I heard Wal-mart is selling caskets online now

 

We have replicas of both here in bako they were at dragfest I believe or it may have been March Meets. I see the guy cruising the Monsters Coach around to the local Sonic Drive-in from time to time. Pretty interesting the length the fella went to look semi-authentic on both the coach and the Dragula car he made.


Pictures can be found here of the replica.

That's funny. I wonder if they will fall apart after a year too....

 

They only have to last long enough to get you in the ground anyways.

 

I looked at one in final assembly stages here in dallas this spring ,it has over ten years in locating correct parts .the casket was the hardest part to find .

 

its nice having those connections.

 

You'll probably die of lead poisoning....oh wait your already dead, never mind.

 

Some things just aren't meant to be cloned.

That's kind of a scarey thought there. The HAMB doesn't cover the whole Universe. There are things going on out there that don't show up on a computer screen.

Say it isn't so

 

This is Beau Boeckmann's from Galpin Auto Sports.

 

So with the Slaw Mart casket deal you could "Save Money and Die Better?"

It was funnier'n hell with Herman holding onto the back of the Dragula at the track and having his platform shoes smoking(on the Munsters show).

 

There was one at the Goodguys' show in KC about 5 years or so ago.

 

OK, "It isn't so."

There is a guy in Wilkes-Barre building a casket-rod. Not really "dragula" clone but it's pretty badass none-the-less.

Lester I do believe his name... i think

 

of all the "theme" type cars barris built (had built) i think this one has to be the best, plus it was from a killer tv show, if i were to ever clone a theme car this would for surely be the one, its awsome.

heres the best munsters episode ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVRBX2pjFpU

Crap, I knew I shouldn't have wasted that wish.
