You may have heard of Coop the artist who is most known for a single image of a devil (smoking a cigar while leering) headshot, Coop's a big fish in a small pool... I only learned of him from Mr Jalopy's blog. Coop's blog is http://positiveapeindex.wordpress.com/ and he seems to like Roth's work enough to collect and show as much of it as possible. Pretty cool, but if you look through his blog, be prepared to see Coop's defacement of the Rat Fink. Not cool.

Ed Roth's Mysterion had inherent build quality problem that caused it's scrappage about 1974, but Dave Shuten built a new one!

The second interesting thing about these gauges is that there are two of each, because they are early power boat gauges from a boat with two engines.

That little tv set took a year to find on Ebay, they are very rare, and might be the hardest thing to replace when making one of these "1960's car show crazy kustoms"

Dave might not be familiar by name, but he is by his actions... he restored Orbitron, built Mysterion, and might be the best sole authority on Ed Roth's creations

Halloween is arriving fast, Ed Roth had a costume for you

Big Daddy Ed Roth's art in motion, the Finkosel

"Wouldn't Finks make a cool carousel? " and the idea of the "FINKOSEL" was born. From there came scale drawings. The artists got permission from the Roth Estate to build the thing, and a new type of Kustom Kulture is born!
