I met him in 1984 at a car show, we ended up talking for several hours, and every time I saw him at a show he would call me by name and invite me over. He was a really nice, creative genius. He also invented or used things in new ways that were never done before. He was the Ben Franklin of that time. When things were fun, and cruisin and cars were encourage before this time of this sick woke crap.
Man I love him so much , Ed is genius man , I've got his biography , it says that one day he wanted to destroy all his creations and this dude friends of him talked Ed out of it ! Amazing personality , always my favourite artist and Kustom King ! R.I.P Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
Totally agree with you about Ed, I actually pinstriped his coffin up in Manti ,Utah,saddest thing I’ve ever painted in this lifetime,he will always be missed, so glad I could call him my friend, I Loved that guy..
And the best part of it was reading that he got involved with outlaws bikies for a while , then he kind of grew out of it , and they rock up to his joint and he beat the shit out of the toughest of them , Ed is one of my biggest heroes indeed for everything he was , genius creator and innovator !
what a great thing! Thank you for this gem! If any one has any images-info on that blue truck they are all lettering at the 20th rat fink party that'd be wicked! Cheers- Neko
Lesson learned. Donate your cars to museums that will stick around. Most of Ed's cars were auctioned off in the 1980s when Holiday Inn acquired Harrahs. A few ones are still on display in Reno where a handful of the original collection remains.
Is there not more? It feels unfinished, or possibly cut off early... But it is entirely "groovy" as Ed would have affectionately described this I imagine.
Where can I find Jeff degrandis I think he was one of the producers of Dinotrux this video was on one of his playlists I need to tell him something on UA-cam someone anyone who knows him please reply to this comment and tell me where he’s active on UA-cam I’m not a hacker I’m just need to talk to him
"People that don't ever go to junkyards are missing out"

I've never heard his voice before; I was worried he'd sound like "Wolfman Jack" or something.
Wow! I would have loved to be there in person!
Thats my on my avatar, thanks Ed.
Looks like my classroom back in Bell high-school
Dad never gave anything away, he made up a lot of stories after becoming Mormon to further his status in what they call "The Church".
Michelangelo , DaVinci , Rembrandt.... Big Daddy!! (I don’t think so Tim ( whatever the nerds name is ))
