Dragula De-Luxe

Postby SSG on Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:58 pm

I think we're finished. This is a 24" ladies Murray frame, with a flipped front frame section and 26" wheels. No parts were purchased, all the parts were basically junk so the build cost is around zero, excluding a few bucks worth of welding wire. Those not familiar with the Dragula, it's a coffin shaped drag car from the tv show The Munsters, and also made popular by a Rob Zombie song with the same title. I had a blast building it, so that's the important part. Despite the short wheelbase it rides pretty well. The build thread is here http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=20524

cool build, SSG! it does have a kinda old and odd look to it, like maybe something Herman Munster might have ridden in his youth (if he had a youth).

Very nice! It has kind of a turn of the century look. Spark plugs are a nice touch!

I'm afraid I have to steal the idea as well.
Nice build. It has an old, almost gothic, feel to it.......

I agree, its looks turn of the centuryish, steam punk maybe. The angles are right, it would make a real trick swingbike as well. Nice job.

I was thinking the same thing, if I make another bike with this style frame its going to be a swingbike for sure.
