Tales of the Rat Fink

The legend of the world's greatest kustom car builder Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.

This is an interesting look at the Life and Times of car customizer/cartoonist Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. Through the use of many graphically enhanced photographs and "talking" cars, it is a loving look at the car culture in Southern California from the Early 50's to Ed's Passing in 2001.
