While “Big Daddy” passed away in 2001, his rich creative legacy carries on today in the very capable hands of Kansas City-based Fritz Schenck, who built the Roth-inspired Roswell Rod and recently added the restorations of both the Druid Princess and the Mega Cycle to his growing body of work.

Starting with ’29 Ford Model A frame rails and a body from Jimmy C, which was produced using molds that were taken from the original Ed Roth-built Outlaw, this exacting Outlaw recreation includes period correct parts and materials throughout. The list includes a 1922 Dodge windshield frame, 1958 Chevrolet taillights, a 1941 Ford rear axle and a 1939 Ford manual transmission, as well as a 1950-vintage 331 cubic inch Cadillac V8 engine with a rare Cragar intake mounting four Strombergs.

Once completed, Schenck’s Outlaw recreation created a sensation just like Roth’s original car, with appearances at many prominent venues including Darryl Starbird’s 45th annual National Exotic Car Show in Tulsa, as well as the Loews Auto Fair in Charlotte, the Kansas City Autorama and the 57th Annual Detroit Autorama. As perhaps the most faithfully executed Outlaw creation, the work of Fritz Schenck represents a depth of appreciation for “Big Daddy” that is matched by few and surpassed by none.
