ED “BIG DADDY” ROTH | RAT FINK KING OF SOUTH CALI KUSTOM KAR KULTURE
| 
Yeah, I saw all of the Roth cars when he and Von Dutch were working at Movieland Cars of the Stars in Buena Park Calif during the mid 1970s. As the picture shows of the green repainted Beatnik Bandit ( there at Movieland ), I always thought it was so ugly painted that color, but I got to see it again in the early 1990’s restored to it’s former glory, at the Laguna Museum of Art, Laguna Beach Calif, and Ed Roth’s personal truck was just outside the gallery, with signs painted on the truck for his pinstriping & lettering business. After that I would see him each year at the Route 66 event in San Bernardino Calif, right up until he died. He was a great Man with a terrific gift, and he will always be missed….
Take me back to the sixtys , Berdoo , Rathole , man those were the days . Some of my fondest memories were of Big Daddy Roth & Hot Rod mag. R a t t f i n k , Ratfink ! Thoose big eyes in the corner of the windows , killer flames an vivid colors ! My older brother was way into this stuff so it filtered down to me at a ripe age of eleven.
Hi Guys I thought you may like to here this story from England in the late 50 `s. There were only 2 very dedicated Hot Rodder`s in Grimsby we broke away from our motor bike gang & was hooked on American Hot Rods. my mate John Gilbey & me used to drool over your great Hot Rods in the American Mags anyhow I decided to send a money order across the pond for a Edd Roth sweat shirt, he had become one of my hero`s. I had no phone & there were no credit card`s. I sent a money order thru my bank.,3mths past bye & no sweat shirt so I sent dear ol Edd a strong letter asking for my money back. Still no reply, time goes by & I forgot all about it. Around 6mths after posting my money order I came home from work my Wife say`s ” the postie delivered you a real fancy brown envelope” Wow!!! I knew were it was from, my name & address was air brushed in Candy Colors also it was pin stripped all over. Man this was better than the crown jewels. I carefully opened it & inside was my sweatshirt with Wiedo driving a coupe, gearshift poking out of the roof, my mate John was green with envy. Also a letter of apolergie for not sending it sooner, my order had been lost. Im afraid due to several house moves the super brown envelope got lost & the sweat shirt just wore out. How times have changed, Ive now got a phone & a credit card & have just shipped over my 2nd Hot Rod from your Great Country. My last build up before I go to the Big Hot Rod Club up there, its a 35 Ford Pk Up. over the years Ive built a 32 Ford 5 window which is now in Costa Mesa CA & is still rite hand drive. A 34 Ford 5 window which is now in Sweden & a 35 Ford pk up now in Sweden, this one I regret selling so Ive just purchased another one from Concord CA .The 33 Ford pk up I built is in Birmingham England……Cheer`s Greybeard Limey Bri

DERBY — Some do-it-yourself projects you pick up at a home improvement store — others, you find online and have to trailer home from Texas.
That was the case with Marc Bitler's unusual 1940 Chevy business coupe.
"I found it on eBay. It was primered and looked pretty good in the pictures. But when I got there, the rockers, the cowl panels, the floor pans... everything was pretty well ratted out. It was basically a shell on a frame," Bitler said.
Although Bitler and his late twin brother, Morris, had done quite a bit of drag racing years ago, he had never built a street rod; in fact, he said, "I had to teach myself how to weld."
"I brought it home and took the body off and started a complete frame-off reconstruction," he said. Ironically, Bitler is actually the second owner of the car, which had a replacement 235 cubic inch Chevy six under the hood when he started on it.
"I had a '39 Chevy at one time, but I always wanted a '40. And you don't see many '40 business coupes around," he said. So he was happy, despite the fact his wife, Kristi, said the car looked "like a turtle" and nicknamed his new project "Myrtle." That was in January 2004, and the project would consume four years of Bitler's time, as he learned the ins and outs of car building.
