I'm just glad I was able to meet Roth in the 1980s when he came to Vancouver, B'C. Got him to autograph my Outlaw and Mother's Worry model kits, also a Rat Fink cartoon which I bought. Couldn't afford one of his shirts, though for $25. Probably worth a lot more now. He appeared to be a real hippie type artist to me and poked a little fun at me when I told him I was called a fink in school when I was bullied so badly. I guess I should have known he wouldn't understand my bad old days.
Because there has been No Mad Fabs I lost interest in my 39 pickup and went back to working on my Bikes , the History of Tweedy Pie was interesting , well for me it was ( I'm old ) we need more Mad Fab
That car still exists and is in the 3 Dog Garage in PA. Along with the real Kookie car and several amazing cars.. google them you won’t be disappointed :) I will cover it some day when I go there.
great stuff!!! I havent seen a mad fabricators since the dvds ages ago... I love that you still have the original; music from the series... thank you for keeping this alive... even though I am out of the "Car" scene I loved the MFS! you guys rule
Hey Piero, this is a really cool and detailed video. Not that often you see this detail in a video, it's really refreshing for us car "nerds". Thanks for sharing your journey. My T Roadster is waiting in my garage as well. Looking forward to seeing what you have done so far.
Great little car. I worked on it for almost five years in my neighbors home ( Jack Lavoy) in Alhambra on Raymond street. On the picture you see six carburetors but we only had the center two actually operational.
Thanks and that’s awesome! I’m in contact with Chris Lavoy and he came out and saw mine and loved it. Yes I knew about the two carbs.. I noticed it in the early photos you can see the two carbs dirty and discolored (before chrome) :)
I couldn't help myself. The title snagged me. Plus I am a fabricator and gearhead. It's fate I guess. Sorry for your luck and you're welcome. Subscribed!!
Interesting to see/read and hear all the conflicting info. ‘57 or ‘58 sbc, “Roth bought it in boxes” vs drove it straight to Revell. Narrowed T frame vs ‘32 rails. White interior with contrasting maroon paint. I know the magazines just assume and that there were 3 versions plus Roth’s mods so I’m sure it’s all lost in the mix. The bought in boxes is a little self aggrandizing though of Roth.
@@MADFABRICATORSTV yeah I paused one of the articles in the video and read about the boxes. I also saw it “rumored” while reading on another site just yesterday. Keep it up!
Absolutely loving this services!! At the beginning, you made mention to Bon Francos video on amazon prime. I’m not able to find it.. help? Would like to see it as well. Thanks.
Baby moons were different those had less of a dome and produced by Mooneyes.. The high dome beanie caps were for the most part made by Cal Custom and a few others
I didn't know that , and I'm pretty informed on all custom cars , Big Daddy , Barris , Winfield , Alexander Brothers , and so on , thanks for the info , I'm a gear head , since a child , my dad had several 49 thru 51 Merv's and several other great car's ,, his first was a 32 5 window
I met Eric Johnston recently and he told me about this. The history is super cool and I'm really digging the build videos. 👍
Awesome. Eric is a nice guy! Thanks for following along..

Yeah it’s crazy over time how it got a little mixed up.. I never heard the Roth bought it in boxes rumor?? Hah

Thanks Rusty! I guess I should of mentioned that it only streams on Amazon in USA and England but hopefully that will change soon..
@@MADFABRICATORSTV ... ya... I kinda sum’d it up to the shows not available to us frosty northerners 🇨🇦 . Thank you for replying to me however. 👊🏻
Awesome.....! :)
Is there a full video for sale
Coolest tee bucket in history!
I like it a lot. :)
Cool man!
00:59 Wait, is that replica? I didn't think Roth's original 'Wishbone' survived, but I never heard of anyone making a copy.
Nope real deal.. it was restored by Dave and was on the series they did called Cwt Kings.. it’s pretty rad..
what´s about that Fiat 600 that appears in 3:02 behind tweedy pie? that´s some weird kustom!
Yeah it was carry fiat called the Mouse I think.. it’s pretty neat!
Loved the video , but we called the caps baby moon's ???
Baby moons were different those had less of a dome and produced by Mooneyes.. The high dome beanie caps were for the most part made by Cal Custom and a few others

Where is Bob?
Haha in Wisconsin..
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Vacuum cleaner to paint???
enlighten me...
Yeah crazy right? Some Vacuums back then had a blow option and a few had a paint attachment.. add many coats and sand them smooth hahah
It looks like a Chevy engine
Cause it is.
It's plagiarism but with a car.
Haha isn’t plagiarism when you take something and not give credit and make it like you built it? I get what your saying tho..
