When I was a kid I sold t-shirts for Ed "Big Daddy"Roth when He came to the east coast car shows.
Here I found out about engraving by the knives he had and was inspired since. Here is a nickel I carved that goes back to those days when I was known as "The Dice King".The other photo is me and Ed at a car show in White Plains NY about 1985 or so.

I don't anything about it, but I recognise the monster style when it came to Europe end '60 early '70
It was in what we called "underground strips" thumbs up or something like that.

great to see this

"Ed Big Daddy Roth" brings back memories of the 60's. I wasn't a gearhead but I liked his creations.

CJ, I still have my ROth airbrushed shirts. He used to sell the hand airbrushed shirts for 25.00 at a car show and was booked up for the weekend on the first day.
Monk,I saved a report card where the teacher noted I liked to draw on desks. It was mothers worryy I did on the desk and I was proud of that. If you had that model now Im sure it would be worth something....
Later,
Keith
