Fritz Schenck's Beatnik Bandit Clone

In addition to building his own bubble top show rods and restoring Ed Roth’s iconic builds, including The Mega Cycle and The Druid Princess, custom car builder Fritz Schenck has now turned his attention to cloning Roth’s legendary Beatnik Bandit. Seen here in early March 2025, this in-progress shot highlights the radical body lines and bold paintwork that pay homage to Roth’s original vision. Photo courtesy of Fritz Schenck.
