[@jamesbutterson5218]

Had it, loved it,miss it! 😢💚☕👌💨

[@bofusnco]

That was thoroughly a joy. What a trip down memory lane. Thank you so very much for doing this.

[@davidgrahamscott]

@barnfresh60 That pink thin flat rectangle of gum, wasn't it?

[@starsandstripesofcorruptio5524]

Me too. I had all those models and I never thought to sniff the glue. I met Big Daddy Roth around 74 and he signed the Rat Fink T-shirt I was wearing. I feel I was born at the right time. Grew up through the 60s and 70's. Great music. Great sports. Significant changes in the country.

[@SURFSTYLEY4]

I had many of those models but hadn't thought of the Dragon Wagon until i saw it again. Thanks for the memories!!

[@markcanwrite1]

Very nicely done. I just wrote a book about Bill Campbell, the guy who created the Weird-Ohs, and he hates those baseball cards. They didn't want to pay his fee, so they got somebody cheaper, and it shows.

[@bluedart340]

Wow dude - your childhood looks a lot like my childhood! Cool stuff...

[@Roesch03WRX]

my uncle is greg cooper, (pinstriper in ratfink) my grandpa passed while i was in the desert. sadly i didnt make it home for the funeral =( im about to start a rat rod build with a 42 international. in memory of him sorta thing. greg told me "you build it he'll paint it" =)

[@danieljohnson9351]

Some great stuff there! I have several of those kits and trading cards/ stickers in my collection. What is it with the Banana Splits though? Geez!

[@unionrdr]

It was a 60's TV show where the characters were musicians in those costumes.

[@danieljohnson9351]

@@unionrdr Yeah, I know. But it was so goofy and lame. I don't know why it was so popular. Yes, I know that's just my opinion.

[@unionrdr]

@@danieljohnson9351 It was amusing in that way though.

[@mlcbandcool]

Great collection and even better memories. Still wondering what the music is and who it's by. @ the trux genius in the earlier comment about growing up......"what's your problem?" Thanks Sal for sharin that.

[@MrsOliva]

Who is Li'l, say me please.

[@thevictorylanegirl]

red beron is a hotwheel

[@jamespalgen5370]

LONG LIVE BIG DADDY ROTH !

[@triggerhpy]

I rmember going to the hobbie shop and looking over alot of those modle cars. I had one called Shift kicker.

[@Packrz60]

Who didn't have some of these?

[@donaldmoore6327]

Wow brings back memories.. i built most of those models... still have lots of built and unbuilt roth monster models !! Thanks for that video .

[@Marty43936]

I remember most of these that you have shown. . . My brothers and I built a few of the models shown, and who could ever forget the Banana Splits?! I remember the theme still to this day! And The Munsters. . . That's classic TV that is still funny even today! I will always be a big fan of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth! :'^)

[@mattmarquisee7959]

This was pretty cool, but there was some Roth-style art I didn't recognize. They could've been 'early' Roth, because he actually wasn't that great at drawing the cars, only the monsters. Ed Newton was his staff artist that drew the cars really well. Otherwise, I think I had every one of those models.

[@davidgrahamscott]

Such a better time when weird trippy toys were the norm. Not like the bullshit corporate big-sell garbage they palm off on kids these days!

[@thevictorylanegirl]

most are hotwheels

[@mickeymousebiker1]

I remember building the model of RF. Plastic red "jeweled" eyes, and all. I entered RF and Mr. Gasser in a school art fair. The powers that be in my school hated it. What did they know, anyway?! Thank you, Ed Roth, for Rat Fink (the counterculture version of Mickey Mouse) and for coming up with Choppers magazine!

[@theanimatedpencilstudio]

sweet video, similar to my work, glad I found your channel.

[@larryjellison3301]

I have the little colfen

[@PHAEDRIDER]

[@bryanmiller1216]

I went to the 5 and dime store when I was a kid with my allowance and buying the kits and putting them together, and I still a few of them and all the boxes.

[@pedroballadares5253]

[@trnott]

[@tacle6619]

[@angelfink13]

[@oldchevycar]

[@monsterhobbiesonlinestore]

Awesome! I wish childhood was like that again! I grew up in the 1980's (Born in 1974) Who did the drawings?

[@josephsmith2521]

Right On!! Great stuff,Thanks for sharing.

[@galadriel8100]

cool, dude, keep on trucking!

[@jackdbone53]

I have a few of these kits in my man hole most of them are unbuilt I also have the motorized Tee by monogram many are for sale due too failing eyes and shakin hands

[@mikaelgideryd]

Want some of them.It´s my youth

[@petermaxwell4904]

I remember something called wacky place, weird playing card-size cartoons with disgusting bubble-gum. I hate this spelling check or correction, it is x x, !wacky plax.

[@bignitalian2]

AWESOME! that video brought back alot of good memories! thank you!

[@DukeOfEarlStreet]

whats the music here amigo?

[@qwisp]

I would love to see you make a video of JUST the car model covers/Weird-Ohs/Big Daddy Creations/funny cars--with no Banana Splits and photos of Herman Munster. Also with MUCH edgier 1960s garage music. This song is way too wimpy for this beloved low-brow subject matter.

[@Marty43936]

I think I MAY have built some of these models when I was young! One of the tell tale signs of a good car guy: If he is like me; an Ed "Big Daddy" Roth fan! I was saddened when I heard of Big Daddy's passing, but Rat Fink will live on! Yes, I am a car guy!

[@thedriver133]

cool mate!!!

[@Vauxhaul1959]

This is one fantastic Video, everything I did as a kid!

[@NowTrade]

Very Cool.

[@salssalvage]
