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!
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
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 .....
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
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 ..
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
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.
