Not sure how many of y’all were Big Daddy Roth fans, but whenever I see Rat Fink, it takes me back to being a kid and remembering his chopper and hotrod illustrations. I just found Little Daddy Roth’s products on YouTube, and it made me realize that we don’t have a thread dedicated to that kind of nostalgia or custom builds. Well, here we go.
these are 2 offerings from a good friend, Warren Lane. ( Billy Lanes brother) He got Billy into building. Anyways he's got a distinct style. His shop is about 5 minutes from me. Builds some beautiful stuff.
Yeah. He has a history in Drag Racing and was a builder. He lived out west and spent a lot of years in Vegas. Knew Shelby and Von Dutch too. Interesting guy.
Good friend of mine just built this. Copper Top Garage. Out of Ormond Beach. There is life after police work. 1959 Pan
If any of y’all are Triumph fans, a custom builder in Florida is raffling off a bike that he made to represent one of only two Triumphs featured in David Mann’s paintings. The proceeds go to a charitable organization called Forgotten Angels. It's a Doggone Triumph — Easyriders
Awesome at sixteen I also brought a bike same as this and turned it into a chopper peanut tank pipes that went up behind sissy back rest. this thing was so loud it would stop the chickens from laying, at my girlfriends old man home. extended forks etc.
