The photos with the American's looks killer. Imagine it restored to that period. It would be saving history instead of a replica of something else. Just a thought.

The Top Chop is nice and looks easy to restore. But is is unknow by a lot of people. The Anderson/Here Come Da Bug is one of the nicest top chop and was well know. The idea of a replica sounds good to me. Anderson Bros replica is the way to go Russell Anybody has info about the Anderson Bris car? I heard that the car was sold out of California and tranform into a street car and spray all over the original paint, even spray over the decals...Where is this car now? |

The Top Chop is nice and looks easy to restore. But is is unknow by a lot of people. The Anderson/Here Come Da Bug is one of the nicest top chop and was well know. The idea of a replica sounds good to me. Anderson Bros replica is the way to go Russell I don't get your point guillaume... Yes, it looks nice and pretty easy to restore. The fact that it is unknown by a lot of people doesn't make it any less genuine, just more interesting in my book. I think Der Express is one of the coolest cars in Russels collection, not just because it's a true survivor, but also because it's one of the hundreds of gassers that were raced back in the day but unfortunately (?) never made it into a book. The Anderson bug was a very cool racecar with a well known history. As the car is long gone the idea of an accurate replica sounds good. But why on earth base that replica on a genuine old gasser and not just any old bug that can be chopped and actually have the exact same lines as the original? I have nothing against replicas if they are true to the original, but halfhearted attempts like the Iguana (sorry Russel ) just doesn't do it for me.. You either build a 100% true replica or a car inspired by the old gassers.. Genuine 70's gassers are few and far between and I really hope this one doesn't end up as a replica of another one. Sounds more absurd the more I think about it.. |
