He designed and built wild show rods that later became some of Revell’s most famous model car kits. Roth was a key figure in Southern California’s Kustom Kulture and hot rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. In addition to the show rods Ed Big Daddy Roth also created some famous characters such as the Rat Fink. It all started for Ed in a small garage in Southern California where he did pinstriping and detailing on all kinds of cars. In addition to pinstriping cars Big Daddy was famous for airbrushing wild t-shirts. It was on these t-shirts that we got to first see Ed’s wild characters like the Rat Fink. Then just like they had done with Ed’s wild cars Revell made plastic model kits of Ed’s famous characters such as the lovable Rat Fink Mr. Gasser Surfink and Scuz-fink. Atlantis Models keeps the tradition going by re-issuing Big Daddys wonderful creations in all their original glory.
