Most hot rodders and Sixties counterculture fans know of the hot rod dubbed Tweedy Pie as an Ed Roth T-bucket, yet another one of the cars he supplied to Revell to turn into a kit, right alongside the Beatnik Bandit, Mysterion, Outlaw and others. But it actually found fame in a prior version long before Ed Roth bought it, and that's the version Piero De Luca of the Mad Fabricators Society has set out to build and to fully document in his latest video series, "The Car That Ate My Brain 2."
As YouTube build series go, this one's refreshingly well produced, eschews drama and cheap thrills, and showcases the talents of multiple fabricators and professionals as Piero goes about building a replica of a specific version of Bob Johnston's award-winning T-bucket. And as the name implies, it also documents an obsession to faithfully replicate a specific car from a specific point in time, a quest that can drive many mortal men - restorers, preservationists and hot rodders alike - mad.
