More Roth ' ness !
Seeing as we've just looked at some Ed Roth honda's it seemed only fitting to post up this concept drawing of a 'Surfite' themed Nissan Cube . The original Surfite was Mini Cooper based but i'm sure if the big daddy himself was still around he'd love this new version .

Rice by Roth !
The madcap masterpieces by Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth are well known in the world of hot rods . Vehicles such as the Beatnik Bandit and the Orbitron as well as his cartoon creation 'Rat Fink' are well documented by magazine and world wide web .
However , it's not such common knowledge that he was also a fan of early Honda's , his little N600 and first gen Civic are both shown here ( along with a few of his other offbeat creations )
Rice powered rods ...
Here's a couple of Hot Rods with some oriental seasoning . The gloss black deuce is powered by a modern Lexus V8 whereas the satin black speedster is powered by a Datsun 260z inline 6 motor . Dare to be different !
Crowning glory
Time for a few pics of various Toyota Crowns with some kustom touches froms the 50's , 60's and 70's ...
