I drew and day glow painted that on a poster board back in High School but can't find a picture of it anywhere on the WEB last I looked.

What happened to the movie poster attached to the original thread here? It was there earlier, but now it won't open the photo or a link. Did we have to remove it for copyright stuff or what? Just wondering...I want to show my 6 to 14 year old grandsons what I watched as a kid (they are all turning into the 21st century corvette Rat Finks, much to the chagrin of their mothers)! ha ha Another generation of cavemen on the way...

Met Ed Roth at Louisville, Ky back in the 60's and had him hand paint a T-Shirt of the 63' Chevy SS I had then. He was great and one hell of a sense of humor. Wore that shirt for years and wish I had it still.

Not sure which link you're looking for, but since mine was the op and this thread's sorta come back, I updated the link to my pic of Cody Roth at his 2012 booth at Carlisle.

Didn't see Cody or Rat Fink merch at the 2013 Corvettes at Carlisle so it may not have been that successful for them. I think more people needed to know.

Also - Check out "Big Daddy" on Facebook:

Cody is always at the Goodguys Car show in Loveland CO. SO you might check out your local Goodguys Vendors list to see if he will be attending. I think they are based out of Utah so he might just attend the closer shows....

Super nice guy

There is a lady around the corner from me who has a old T bucket buried in her garage, a real steel one. It's customized, purple with a lot of brass. I noticed the car when she was having garage/yard sale a few years ago. She told me the car was built some famous guy daddy rat fink or such. Her parents, from Chicago bought the car 40+ years ago with some provenance paperwork as well. I should investigate that a little bit.
