[jgsr1014]

Google can fuck themselves with their own ads.fuck you google.

[vollsticks]

The talking cars are cheesey as fuck.

[MrGotsquashed]

P.S. That's exactly how I thought R.F. would act and sound. I bet Roth is laughing with us now. ;:-O

[MrGotsquashed]

I wasn't always a fan of Roth until a couple of years ago. Back then, I preferred all original cars- I wanted a '57. In elem. school, I would draw all over my assignments; I loved art. I started a spark plug collection when I was 5. I knew I was different- an outsider in life. I started drawing random flames in middle school, and would always check out the same car book at the library. I was a weirdo back then, and I still am now! I enjoy being different.Thanks ROTH- for making your mindreality

[archer82633]

Great tribute to the master

[qbenplaya00]

[psychodelicdragon]

[HCShannon]

Wolfe's car is a '03 model how does her know about what happened in the sixties...maybe Tom told him?

[RayDAider]

Wow! Great flick. I definitely remember drawing Rat Fink as a kid, and seeing Roth's ads in "Car Toons" magazine. Thanks for putting this up......

[IBG67]

Man, Dina Shore was GOREOUS.

[1339LARS]

Four bucks a pop! Those where the day´s.

[justme7716]

as a kid in the sixties, I had those models, and tried to draw rat finks on anything...the rest of my life I MADE A LIVING custom painting hot rods and bikes. Ed was inspiration for thousands, and NO, KOOL never moved on...look around at the local cruise nights in anytown USA !!!

[ws666andy]

bahahahahahahaha!!!! @14:23

[elvtero]

Yeah!

[nuttynix123]

excellent movie.Big Daddy a true icon in rod and custom history, a shame the same spirit does not exist in todays coporate custom world.

[MultiShattered]

john goodman

[bayunto]

Hail "The Godfather of Hot Rod" culture.

[949dk]

R.I.P. ED (BIG DADDY) ROTH

[daftmastercheifpunk]

fuck you cant use f5 now

[Lode422]

It's kind of amazing to see the influence on Pop Culture Ed Roth had, to leave that big of an impact, that's still seen today is quite awesome.

Also, how on earth would one drive the Beatnik Bandit?

[bikebuilder13]

Ed"BIG DADDY"Roth was and still is the best car builder R.I.P BIG DADDY"Roth.

[hugoceniceros]

[bicycle0418]

太酷了

[hazearoundtheworld1]

these adds are bullshit.

[brokenbrush]

Sitting with him made all my pals flip out. But we had fun talking aboutall the crap ya go through as artists in a big world.

and How people copy all they can of yer stuff. But it was still cool to finally sit with him. after allthem years since i almost got an airbrushed shirt from him in 1963 in boston. But my dad didn't want to wait around any more in line at that car show.

[brokenbrush]

I was born in '55 i started making models in ''60 and i had every model and thing you could buy RATFINK. including the record albums. I learned to draw and paint and pnstripe because of this inspiring dude. Only tofind out that he has most of his finished art drawn by some body else. I even had breakfast with him By appointment at Carlisle in 1998. we traded cartoon comic super hero patches I still have his signed patch of a rat fink and he has mine of Sgt,SPlatter.a paintball super hero.

[LordHoshiyomi]

Whats the name of the song by the Torquays at the end?

[badwolf1350]

Ghost riders in the sky.

Written by Stan Jones June 5th, 1948.

[LordHoshiyomi]

Whats the song in the beginning and end ?

[unionrdr]

I BREATHED rat fink for years. I grew u[ with big daddy. Keep the shiny side up,& the rubber side down,keep both feet on the wheel,& do whatcha feel!

[ratfinkrodder]

I FUCKING LOVE HOT RODS!!!!!

[HelgeHamburg]

as Ed Roth says: "Keep the rubber-side down and the shiny-side up." Race on the strip, not on the street.

[dikkejanus]

verrekte mongool !

Moet ik die rooie er ff bij hale kut ?

HAhaha

[caravans2]

What was that a film "Leave it to Beaver" where the kids are looking in the shop window at the T-shirts.

[hatboatgoat]

I am in that movie NO BIG DEAL

[blackAzureKnghtmare]

man, roth was the man!

[gavkasso]

good work chaps!

[robietrav]

hell yeah john godman is perfect narator

[JackFrahm]

I grew up on RF and had been trying to find this clip. Thank you

[chickenman450]

that was a great watch, loved it!

[airman4life87]

I love this movie a must see for all car people. Learn the history!!!

[RATRODTV]

All Rat Finks are watching RatrodTV on youtube. Watch for the inside story on how the Rat fink was created by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.

[jaratt85]

does anyone know what the name of the show was that norm had his car in? the guy that made the first Tbucket that is sitting in the drivers seat of it in the bob's section of this? 10:48 it shows him.. I want to watch that show

[brokenbrush]

@jaratt85 77 sunset strip was the TV show that car was caled the "KooKie car, i think.

[enasni177]

I had a FatFink toy model car when I was a kid and it was gnarly!!!

[minggnim]

...and the formation of the NHRA took small time hotrods away from the gear heads and turned it into big buisness !

[kungfu70]

thanks 4 upload it !!best xmas gift ever!!!! :)

[garpike3x]

i loved it !!!!

[assgod1]

that first truck is a model t not a model a it just has a model a bed and grill

[rustkeeper]

I have to agree with ftesk8rock on this one,tried to make myself like it but no can do,someone needs to make it right! John Goodman? come on!

[ftesk8rock]

John Goodman?! Talking cars?! Is this a Disney movie?!The pics and original footage is great, but taking cars! All the good stuff has been left out. What about Ed Newton? What about outlaws, Nazi helmets, swastika's and iron crosses? What about Roth moving his whole family into his shop and Von Dutch mounting a water cooled 50 cal machine gun on the roof just in case a certain "outlaw" motorcycle gang came knocking? I just wasted an hour and fourteen minutes of my life on this crappy movie!

[jaratt85]

you have any clue how big of a car nut goodman is? and btw, it was supposed to be a bit of a luagh and showing if cars could tlak the history.. and as for swastikas, you cant ahve that kind of shit in movies anymore unless its a nazzi movie.. fo obvious reasons

[lafamiliarep]

hey is there a movie/documentary that has all this in it ??

[brokenbrush]

@lafamiliarep yes and you are looking at it.

[slogreyghost]

He made and set out a 3 foot tall Rat Fink made of plywood and painted in full color set on the edge of the road with a "Cool it drive slow kids playing...something like that.I wanted to steal that sucker.I did find a Rat Fink flag made for a small flag pole out on the highway..finders keepers.I first saw him when I was a 10 year old kid in so cal at a car show 1963 that was just the coolest thing ever then those t-shirts and his special paint sets that were sold in the pages of the comics .....

[slogreyghost]

The town of Manti,Utah was cool to see Big Daddy working around town.He was a Boy Scout leader believe it or not.Did lots of good for those kids.When he moved out of that house to another he was going to be next door to me if I would have kept my old girl friend but it did not work out Darn! He was always busy with something.Even designed a new out house for the local forest service.Drove around town in a little old truck. When he moved it was to a much older and smaller home but he painted it

[slogreyghost]

typos suck...anyways into the garage and there is his art work table and above it is all those car models in the boxes from my youth I was speachless what a cool dude he was gave me a blue rat fink for a key ring that had grease all over it and a Rat Fink sales catalog with green paint spilled on the back cover as a paint blotter I guess.Later on I got a T-Shirt hand done by Big Daddy himself at his place in Manti.The Mustang one crushing a corvette. Seeing him paint business windows in town ..

[slogreyghost]

Right place Right time I was going thru the small town of Manti,Utah years ago and a lady friend told me "Hey,You like car stuff amybe you know a fried of our family Ed Roth. My brain lit up! You mean Big Daddy lives here in this little town ? Yes-I don't believe you-I will show you his home-Ok-over we go 3 blocks-Knocks on the door of a house painted in 5 different trim colors-Might be it is-Big Daddy ! I was in heaven got the tour of the small old home with a wood stove then the garage and all

[slowmotion4x4]

I agree. The ads suck. And no they don't have to be in here. They pay you a small fee for each hit you get for letting them put it in your vid. I have turned a few offers to do this to my vids. As soon as I see one in a vid I am watching. I go on to the next vid. Sorry. Was a great vid for what I saw of it.

[GraveyardKing666]

This man was one of the most inventive and original customizers of anyone's lifetime.With a die hard work ethic and a passion for creating unique things that blew people's minds.There will never be another Ed Roth.Often imitated(his work),but never duplicated,he was one of the best and the first.R.I.P. Ed,hope you're making some crazy kustoms in the sky.Long Live The Fink!

[GraveyardKing666]

That's because it is Steve Austin

[musclekid13]

My dad knew ed roth real well. i have a few autographed pics of rat fink

[ChevyV8Maniac]

[BlacksheepV8drift]

[theMINDofWARD]

I actual own several Ed Roth prints, dated before he created the Rat Fink character. I didn't have a chance to ever attend one of the Rat Fink Reunions, but I can imagine that it was quite the experience.

[trx1961]

wow, true rods, no bullshit

[juliofrausto89]

[ramblux]

[tomcatfranks]

I saw a mag article about Japanese choppers, they're building their choppers the old-style way people here would build them, very bare-bones.

[WyldeWelder]
