[fasterpussycatx]

[blahinadequate]

its weird but that is only the best way to get noticed

and "big daddy" was the best

Awesome job. Good to see Roth's legend is in good hands unlike to cheap sell out fuckers who destroyed Von Dutch's life work by plastering it all over cheap chinese handbags and T-Shirts. Long Live Ed ' Big Daddy' Roth!!

So, what - we get the whole story but only get to see 9 seconds of the actual car? C'mon, gimme a frickin tour, show me over, under, around, front and back and inside and out. This is frickin history guys, and a masterpiece restoration job. I mean, cool story but I'd have been happy if no one said a word and all I saw was the car.

This is an excellent video. What a strange story behind it's discovery! I too followed the story in Hot Rod magazine. Beautiful restoration!!

I agree with a recent post. This should be available on a dvd. Hot Rod magazine did an excellent story on Orbitron. We'll never see stuff like this in our time era again.

I just saw "Rat Fink" and loved it. Such a genuine spirit.

This restoration proves that though it's a niche market, there are kustomizers who do unique work for art sake.

Excellent video! long live big daddy...

[PHAEDRIDER]

hell yeah ! i have been following this story since they found it in mexico.. and it was all top secret

now i get to hear the story .. you guys did such a good job! i'm so glad it was found.. and found by the right people. thats hilarious about it going to juarez and living on the street in front of a sex shop.. it's a rock star of a car !!!!

i heard the mysterion may have been spotted on a trailer under a tarp at a gas station or something. We can only hope!

[Buds4th]

Great vid, The restoration of this car should have been a reality show on tv. Kustom history being made just like finding buried treasure. Is there a dvd of all this?

[Whicol2]

Man, so happy to see it up and restored (and how quickly too!!) What a fantastic piece of American art, rescued from being a dump (literally) in Mexico! It is incredibly important that these works from Roth, as well as Williams, Von Dutch, and others, are preserved and respected as the mid century art they are. Just gorgeous...

Now...if we can just find the remains of the Mysterion!!!

[stayonthefarm]

yeah i'll crap my pants when they find the mysterion.
