Custom, Roth style, one-off, home-built, frankenstein hot rods...lets see them!

I've, always been a big fan of the style. I will be back to working on mine, as soon as life allows.

 

There was one at Hunnert pile up #10 built from a mid 60s tbird...anybody have pictures of it by chance? It was in bare metal at the time. I would like to see progress of it

This is a cool one.



Built by Racrdad.

Lots of pictures in his build thread too.

Was it this one?

 

Dang, that's a big picture

 

I love the creativity that goes into these kinds of builds. Although there are a lot of train wrecks out there.

I like the show rods, but I have to admit a lot of em fall short. Atomic Punk hit the mark for sure.

I think a lot of Gary C's renderings would make some pretty cool rides. I wish some talented folks would give one of them a shot.

 

Hopefully we get to see this finished one day. Classed as a radical Custom but certainly covers the one off, Frankenstein and home built.

started as this



ended up as this (and about forty different versions prior!)

 

no sorry, im currently in Afghanistan and all the pictures i have are on my home computer and not my laptop. its a 1970 karman ghia, with 59 caddy rer quarters. i also removed the unibody element and put it on a tube chassis i built, then mounted a chevy vortec engine and 4bl carb in the back seat to make a mid engine ride.

 

Dang these things are cool. I may have to go find some finned quarter panels.

 

Cool thread

 

Cool profile on this one, but be careful, it's starting to get that Barris "everycar" feel.



Tell me again whay you started with the Coupe in the top pic? What is left of it?

 

Holly Chit! thats alotta work! I would have to be put in a mental shop before I got through that one

 

I hear that!

 

I want to build one like this ^^^
On a donor similar type build as the aluminum bodied corvette thread .
Been scouting a suitable platform donor and I don't care if I have to start on a Honda lol
Would that count ?

 

Amazing Thunderbird!

 

That all metal T-Bird is one of Gene Winfields newer creations,,,his crew actualy brought (drove ) it out to El Mirage for the races a couple of years ago ! tried to get some pics but the reflections were horrendous !!!!!!

 

John 79 I like that car do you know who, where or when it was built?

 

That's pretty sweet...

 

Crucifier

 

I saw this car back in the 70s in Indiana, I loved it then and can appreciate it even more now. Is it still on the road? Dave used to drive the hell out of that car.

Is Dave on the HAMB?

 

Sonic Needle

 

They should have their own unique classification, Odd Rods would certainly be apropriate. Some are definitely cool.
Heres a few more.

 

Sadly, Dave passed away in December, 2010
