If you could clone a hot rod

If you could clone a '40's or '50's hot rod which one would it be? What a link between generations. Pics if you've got 'em.

 

None, although I might build one that honors the spirit of a certain car in the past. The same year and body style with similar modifications but enough differences so that one would know that it wasn't a direct clone.

 

hmm.... cant remember the owner.. the blue with blue double bubble plexi top dual mcculough supercharged coupe .. thats the one i love that isnt a simple answer

 

Edelbrock roadster, Doane Spencer roadster

 

fred steels ventures cover t bucket.. i fucking love that car, ill build one one day but the columbia rear will be hard to find

 

"Repetition is the death of art."

 

Both that KIRK! mentioned and in the Custom category, Cliff Inman's Chrysler. Man I love that car!

 

Who said that, Warhol?

 

Roth's Road Agent,or the Megacycle Transport...or the Mooneyham/Sharpe 34 Coupe.

 

Love it!!

 

Ivo's bucket and Nitti's roadster.

 

I'd do a AMT 3 in one kit
Vinthers Red 34 3 window coupe
Cal Tanaka's Black Flamed 34 3 window coupe
Jakes Yellow 34 3 window coupe

 

Now that's funny, what would he know about art? ------ well he was a con artist.

 

I might still do it if I could gather all the correct parts.....
The Berg/Wright roadster!!! Ill try and find a pic... its perfection of hot rodding

 

Veda's roadster in a heartbeat (yes I realize this is a clone)

 

There ya go!

 

Yep, that's the one! Do it just like gene built it, with split bones, not the hairpins it has now. Art Chrisman would build the 392, and I'd run the snot out of it.

 

and light them up for 1320!!!!!!!

 

Doane Spencers Roadster.

 

Neat engine and headers!! Flathead Cad would be a great choice for any "period" car.

 

On hard pie-crust slicks too! You gotta' smoke them for 1320 feet.

 

the spencer and mcgee roadsters,

 

McMullonds roadster
Herehota merc
Roths mysterion
the twinmill.

 

CadZZilla!!! Not a Hot Rod but I always wanted me one that was long and black.

 

Lynn Yakel's chopped and channeled 32 Ford 5W Coupe.

 

If I had money for chrome and real paint, etc, etc.............

 

I would prefer to clone a custom the following two:

1. Sam Barris Mercury ( first to be chopped)

2. Miss San Pedro (built right after the Hirohata Merc)

CRUISER

 

McGee & Baskerville

 

Roth's Mysterion? You mean a running version,or just a showpiece like the original...
