If you could clone a hot rod

I'd have to build a clone of the Devil, and although it's not a hot rod I'd love to build a clone of Ivo's twin engine dragster.

 

I'll ask him if he got any before he made it a single engine. If he does I'll put it up here. Totally wicked. He told me he had all he could do to drive it. Couldn't even begin to step on it without smokin the N-50s even at highway speed

Well if ya want, but I was saving you a seat!

 

I'll just list a few of my favs.


I'm leaving the Boyce Asquith Deuce, even though wrong period. It's been my favorite for years.

 

the Khougaz roadster
the Frank Mack "T"
Niekamp roadster
The Magicar FED
Wild Willy's Winged Express
Chrisman bros & duncan coupe
Doane Spencer's 32 (both of them)
The two lane black top version of a '55

 

forgot some pics haha

 

Nitti roadster


Milner coupe...cliche' maybe but I love this car.


I forgot the name of the guy who built this 36...but yes, THIS CAR!

 

A lot of good choices on here, tough to pick one. I would build the Mazmanian Willys, or the Vette, both are beautiful cars. Anyone have a good pic of the vette?
Someone mentioned the Navarro T, that's another one that gets me excited.

 

Donn Lowe built this one.... very nice.

 

Ray Brown's T






Ak Miller's "Miller's Missile"


Wes Cooper's banger powered lakes roadster




The Giovanine/Spurgin '25 Chev lakes roadster is what my roadster is heavily based on, I am not building a clone as I feel there is no use cloning a car that still exists & is to be restored.

 

"Ohio" George's 34 Ford or his 33 Willys. My favorite T- Bucket, Roth's Tweedy Pie [except for the purple paint....ugh.] And finally some guy in the early 60s built a T with crank to crank twin 283s with 4-71 blowers. Sorry can't find the mag it was in right now, but I always liked that one a lot.

 

the Uncertain T


and a little later...

the Deora

 

What about Joi Lansing in Cliff Inman's Chrysler?

 

Bill Neuman roadster. I did a search for a pic, but it's down?

 

If I was going to repicate a car I would be hard pressed to not do a copy of my Dad's 1941 or 1942 built A-V8 on '32 rails. Trying to find a better pic of the car without the relatives blocking the view and not water damaged.

 

Bluebird, hands down!!!! PS, anybody got the history on this car??

 

The Skip Hudson '28 Roadster, no two ways about it.

I've got to agree with your choice Jimmy. Historically significant, innovative and functionally attractive.

 

love all mentioned but really like--
Isky roadster
Texiera Willys-Skip already did the real one !!!
Edelbrock roadster

 

I'd just settle for the car my dad and a buddy of his had in high school...

circa 1948...

 

Not a hot rod but I would clone the Bettancourt merc.

 

Donn Lowe's drag racing T roadster pickup...no pic

EDITED IN WHOOPS...I might have mis-remembered this car...

 

My clone, finished in 2017, runs.

I did build it. I did my interpretation of the Doane Spencer Roadster. It's now in Japan. Wish I wasn't such a dummy and could post pictures.

 

I would build Vic Edelbrock Sr. brother in law's car the Wes Collins 1934 Ford roadster.

 

Milner's coupe..

A coupe, manual trans, no a/c, no power anything, no overdrive, bare basics, just made to go fast....

...

 

Fix the grill though.
Milner goofed that up

 

The McGee roadster. HRP
