Denver's Odd Rod replica, the focus of the cover of the July 1949 Hot Rod magazine, and recently at the Pismo TROG.... was at the GNRS. For some people (like me) it was the 1st time to ever see this in person, and respect the abilities of the 1940's hot rodder's innovation


Mike “Nick” Nicholas founded two events in Colorado: the Hot Rod Hill Climb and Hot Rod Dirt Drags and runs Nick’s Hot Rod Garage.

And he's brought the Wayne Speical T 33 back to racing the hill climb in Colorado, and the hot rod dirt drags

It's been a decade with Duane Helms building an exact replica of the twin-engine Kenz and Leslie Odd Rod pickup truck, which was featured on HRM’s cover in July 1949. How exact? Two hubcaps and the seat are from the original truck.

Here's the build thread on the HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-stump-puller-otherwise-known-as-the-odd-rod.988007/
