Hello Fellow Finksters.
My name is Chip Fisher and I was introduced to Ed Roth via a magazine growing up in Atlanta, Georgia in the late Fifties My eyes popped out when I saw the Excalibur later renamed the Outlaw. Finally got me a T-bucket roadster . Had a 283 Chevy engine. Easy to outrun my friends cars since the the thing didn't weigh anything. My Chemistry teacher caught me drawing weirdos and tried to embarrass me in front of the class "Do you want to grow up and be a weirdo?" To my classmates laughter I said "YES"
I am 63 retired from Bell South living in Florida and a Pastor so that still makes me a weirdo in the eyes of the world. I still love Ed Roth and all his original creations. Finally got to meet him in Reno during "Hot August Nights" before He passed. My wife thought I was NUTS when I was too shy to ask for an Autograph. So She asked for me Not only did I get an autograph but tons of Pictures with Big Daddy.
Best day of my life.
