Ed Roth show cars

[sobpinstriping]

As you can tell I love Roth cars. I'm missing tweedy pie (I got out bid by a dollar on e bay) and the orbitron (its like $40 or so for the resin). Most of thies I did before I knew about adding plug wires and such. I know that some of the decals are messed up also but a couple of the kits were pretty old and the decals were pretty cracked but I made it work the best I could.

Great job...nice collection. Man, that guy was on another planet back then. He was a one of a kind crazy guy. I briefly spoke to him once back in the early '60's at a car show. He was doing the custom tee shirt thing with Rat Fink. He was nuts, but we are all better for his creations.

Here are few more show cars, I'm working on the lil coffin right now. I just got the predicta and silhouette the other day so I'm well on my way. Btw the gold on the ala kart is 24 k. gold leaf (I do pinstriping). I tried a few tims to use leaf for trim and stuff and it never worked, I have since found out how wonderfull bmf is for models.

The only one I remember is the Ala-Kart from the early sixties.

Come on give me a break, I'm getting old.

Really nice job on them Roth kits! I am a big fan of his as well and have all the bubble tops and more! I loved doing the Predicta kit so much that I bought another kit for a rainy day! I applaud your effort on the Outlaw, I decided not to do it due to the amount of chrome involved......Ed Loved his chrome!

Check out my fotki page for my bubble tops.....there may be a few that you need to get! Keep building them, you do Great work!

You don't have to tell me to look ant you'r page, I already did a while back. I was wondering if you would comment on this. The outlaw kit was not as bad as it looked to build but the decals were a pain in the butt, I yelled and cursed the whole time doing them.

thanks for the comments.

Outstnading . Great builds . I gathered all these Roth cars just before he passed . RIP .

I think I had talked to him at a Car show in Cleveland Oh. He was nuts and creative . If it wasn't him , someone as far out as he .

He startted to build cars to get into the shows for free . He wanted the free pass to sell his Rat Fink stuff and Air Brushed Shirts . A pioneer in that area . Thanx ..
